oops.... that should have read "direct inkset product backing."

Sorry...

As for QTR being free,  I salute the creators of the software for doing 
so and I in No-Way denigrate the model they have chosen (I've been a 
HUGE proponent of the open-source model for a LONG time)...  All I'm 
saying is that when all the software developers ignore a significantly 
larger  installed OS base, they are missing a Golden opportunity. 

Additionally, as regards OPM/IJC, to say they had a Windows version 
"coming shortly" and to then halt development of that product  is  IMHO  
considerably short-sighted.

The first vendor who offers a product that works like IJC/OPM or QTR on 
the WinTel platform will have a huge advantage over their rivals...  
That equals $$..
