I'm working on B&W as color, because I develop color software, Roy is working 
from the other end, because he develops a B&W RIP. As he notes, but have 
their merits. But its not likely that both will develop indefinately in parallel 
in the marketplace. Fortunately, with small third party companies around, what 
the big companies decide is not the only option.
