Re: Advanced vs. Standard (was: New Release?)

When will IBM get a clue? 

In OS2 days they tried charging big bucks for development tools and SDK's 
and M$ gave them away.  Everyone other than big Corps wrote for Windows. 
It wasn't the big applications vendors that gave M$ it's nitch in the 
market (then it started charging for its development stuff).  It was the 
little guy, the kid down the street that wrote a game or two, or someone 
that saw a need for a small specialty program and sold it as shareware. 
Look where OS2 is today and what we are stuck with!

There should be someone we (in one voice) can complain to.  Common would 
be a good place (for those that can go), but for those of us who can't, to 
whom should we be directing eMails, phone calls, etc to?  I for one would 
like to know who do we need to be letting know that we are unhappy with 
this (I know they probably won't listen especially if they have their own 
agenda, but I'll sure feel better).

If anyone knows a contact or two (maybe even couple hundred!!!!) that we 
can send our displeasure about this to, I'd like to know.  Could you post 
it here?
