I really don't think it is that >out of sorts for Shredder to do the same. Most people do not have a 4 or 8 chip computer for their leisure so Stef will LOSE money because a lot of people have dual's now and he always had this for his regular shredder versions. Why is he making the jump the excludes the majority? or we could ask why does he not make a version for those who have a 4 or 8? Because he will not make any money YET he holds this out as"Multiprocessor". bottom line: he's just trying to squeeze people for more money. He might be the WC for now and maybe in his mind he thinks it's a definite that people have to have this version but he is going to burn himself. I for one will not be buying it period and this will have the same effect on others as well. I have a dual machine and I am NOT buying the multiprocessor version. Have fun. He has made a greedy, foolish decision that has irked a lot of people so he should pay heed to it.
