Jim,

What in the world has Microsoft done to EARN the right to tell you ANYTHING about what you should do?!?!?!

They have hurt your sales probably 300% by pricing Plus at $40 for what is a box of DEMOS.

They refuse to fix a DirectX 8 problem on Windows 95/ME that has resulted in hate mail to you constantly about why the Aquarium cannot do multiple monitors, etc.

They are calling Prolific liars about the exact financial terms.

Tell them you'll go to DirectX 8 as soon as they APOLOGIZE for their laziness and make the DirectX 8 screen saver libraries compatible with Windows 98 and ME. I cannot fathom a world where you are maintaining two separate codebases just because Microsoft refuses to dedicate 20-30 man hours to fix something that is affecting dozens of screen saver developers!!
