As I read it, and as we long ago guessed on this list, the new 2.4
kernel contains features which have required you to substantially re-
engineer the Win4lin virtual machine. (I suspect that these are changes
in the virtual memory handling?)
Now, it IS less than a 12 month since most of us bought win4lin and I
feel we should have free maintenance & upgrade for at least THAT period
of time. Moreover, the vm kernel changes were nearly included into
2.2.x (and may yet still be back-ported into 2.2.19).
I don't care too much about the bell, whistles and gongs of v3 (and
might indeed feel it reasonable to pay for such changes if I were to
need them.). But keeping compatibility with the basic kernel is, I
suggest, different. Evem M$ would probably have a zero-cost upgrade
route for cases like this.
And of course a lot of us who got in early with win4lin, have tried to
be helpful in getting the product off the ground (because we liked it,
it was good and not a rip-off)

by the way, what's this about 'aggressive management' :-) - sounds like
you guys could benefit from joining the EU and signing the Social
Chapter!

sorry Mike I don't know what that means here!
