G'day Nick,
Your comment regarding the need for clarification that the AdminZone is
currently Windows specific, prior to download, is very valid and we will
add this info ASAP. Sorry if this caused you any inconvenience.
The design decision to make the editing tool run using ActiveX was based
on knowledge of our client's systems. I would have to say that without
exception; all of our clients have at least one Windows box. So, the
extra development effort was not immediately warranted. However, after
saying this, we are looking at other options to replace this in a
forthcoming version, including the option of using a Java applet,
thereby supporting most platforms.
Regards,
Jamie

A problem? - well - the cost of your product has now gone up to the
purchase of the Windows OS and hardware fast enough to run it.
So all those Linux or MacOS X shops are going to pass it by.
No reason at all why you should not release Windows specific software of
course, but I do think this should be made clear in large letters prior
to the download. (it is not, as far as I can see. Here:
http://www.intadev.com/Mobile_EN.asp?Code=DOWNLOAD2 at latest would be
good....)
It does make the product far less compelling - and far more expensive.
Regards
Nick
