Hi Fernando: You are doing OK in the political correctness department.  But then
that's my opinion, so if your post or mine is deleted, we will know there was
some failer to communicate somewhere.

Anyway, as an attempt to be 'on-topic', I will say that I think I saw on the
Rebel page initially, that the Rebel Windows version will be free to current
owner's of Rebel10, but then later I think I saw a change, in that the Windows
version was going to be free to current owner's for 30 days OWNLY, before the
ievitable upgrade price was going to be charged.  In my opinion this is an
unpleasent 'middle change' of policy regarding this product, (whenever it comes
out), and I resent that there were some buyer's from previous versions to the
Rebel10 version, thinking that eventually they would get the Rebel windows
version for 'free'. I know that if I was told that I would have to pay for sure
for the Windows version of Rebel, I would have skipped upgrading to version 10,
especially with the initial promise that it would be around this time in the
year that the beta Windows version would be out.

But I am not surprised that this 'promise' was (or is), going to be broken.
Nothing is new in Marketing from these chess software companies, except my own
understanding about how they fib. - Really the best & dirtiest joke is from
them, to our addicts! pocket book...
