Hi Hans -- Please see the links I have posted in this thread for Jim.

Microsoft is also known to kill projects at a whim, even if they have an avid userbase. XNA for instance. If they can't seriously compete with Amazon (which I doubt they can), then I can see that happening. Especially if they have a change of leadership, which I am almost certain they will, as they are bleeding left and right. > >- Hans > > >On 2013-03-21, at 2:00 PM, Salakhetdinov Shamil < mcp2004 at mail.ru > wrote: > >> Hi Jim -- >> >> I have changed the subject of this posting to not mix with JC's original one. >> >> 1.
