- How about using a more generic statement:
-
- "By including <product X>, Amiga Technologies is effectively dividing the Amiga
- market in two: Those who like it, and those who dislike it. This can never be

- There are lots of people who don't like MUI, but still use it if there is a
- need for it. It seems though AT is going to include MUI 3.2 with the internet
- package, which is rumoured to be less demanding on the system than earlier
- versions. As CPU-power and memory-usage are the two main problems people have
- with MUI this may go a long way in making those people a little happier.
