I'm curious on what marketing GPSoft are preparing to convince windows
users that DOpus is better than those 20 other alternatives around, many
of them free. I have a theory that the number of windows copies sold will
be about the number of amiga versions sold lately minus the few (?) of us
who never would bother with a windows version anyhow. On the other hand,
maybe the goal is to get enough M$ attention to have them buy out the lot :)
Since I first heard of DOpus for windows, windows has moved through a handful
of various incarnations, and is now about to move into yet another with
Windows XP. I'm curious how this has affected the devlopment of DOpus :)
