It's cute, and it's wonderful. -- But it doesn't install under Win2K ('98 ONLY) unless you phone up and have a free upgrade CD sent out (that's got to be costing them !) and you can forget it if you're on Unix
Oh, and they have a very ugly website. How's this for a stupidly pointless drag-and drop interface ?
I don't think you're just flamebait (I'm in a generous mood) but I think you're still missing the big picture.
Your "low end P3" isn't low end - it's at the lower end of the higher bracket. Plenty to people (myself included) still have loads of 2-3 year old P2 machines around that are still doing useful work.
We saw a similar thing with NT -> W2K. Lots of whining about "minimum requirements" taking a big hike upwards (which was true) but when you had a reasonable system with a heavy load on it, W2K became less of a resource hog. The baseline was higher, but the incremental efficiency was much better.
