- Disagree here. I think every Amiga user has the right to criticize
- such a move. If the company involved can't stand such criticism and
- consequently moves to Windows, it just means they were willing to

- the price, but they could've seen this coming a mile away.

- PS. I don't think Amiga users have all THAT much to complain about a
- FW giveaway, since FW4 Lite, which roughly is the Amiga equivalent,
- recently also appeared on a nearly-free coverdisk.
