IMO this is not a fault of Ed, but a fault of Windows XP and Microsoft. Instead
of directing your frustration at Ed, who has shown himself to be one of the most
generous people in this community, perhaps you should direct your frustration at
Microsoft for removing support for older programs.

I'm sure you won't get far with Microsoft though, since this is one of their
primary plans of bleeding every last cent they can get from the public. They get
you hooked on something, then they quit supporting it and force you to buy their
new product, leading to situations such as these. Your situation is common,
where someone gets upset about something like this, but you see the same person
buying the new version of Windows a year later. That's kind of like banging your
head against the wall and saying, "ouch! that really hurts!", and then doing it
again.

In any case, Ed has done more than his fair share. If you want to use Rebel, you
have plenty of options if you desire to use his software badly enough.
