One that is willing to pay for a piece of software and hardware because they acnowledge the fact that nothing is free -- and the camp of people who simply don't want to pay money at all. So, what's the point ? if someone uses XFREE and some supported card , be happy. And if someone wants a MM card with Xinside ? So what ? trying to convince people not to buy because that's the only way to force people in giving in what you (in your narrow mind) think is the best for a company isn't worthwhile to listen to. it's a biased view that is seated on non-reality. comments only via email. let this thread die. -- Roeland Th.
