Sorruy to insist in this about Rebel Windows version, but we do not need travel very far to see the kind of GUI that can be described both as technically adequate, but also finely designed. It is Chessvision kind of GUI, the very same everybody can see downloading the demo. It is FAR superior to that of CP under any criteria you can use. It is real windows but also prettily done. Look at the boards and compare with that of CP. Look at what it delivers. How it is possible that Ed cannot get something similar? Even near that? After all, his project to market a Rebel version is, first of all, HIS project and, besides, an old project. Its not the case Ed was compelled to do that last week. If per chance Christophe Theron is reading this, I ask him if he judge me to be “negative” if I say that we cannot, as customers, just to accept what Ed and you decided. It is not the case to say “I liked it, so what...”. Rebel is a commercial program, not a research project. And as such it depends and must fulfill the wishes of his customers. Yes, you and other people have tastes different to mine, but for the same reason me and other can have tastes different to yours. So I do not understand where we go if we just oppose and noit take into consideration different tastes just saying “hey, you are a negative guy”. I think there is time to consider once again this issue. I personally know some guys in Russia that can program and design beautiful things in a rush. I have asked them my own desktops themes and I can bet there are many other talented designers there and elsewhere. So, why, again, to make use of at most second class product? Fernando, the negative guy
