Okay, it seems as though no one would recommend MPW for use by a single human
being, unless you are in need of some capability which only MPW offers.
Furthermore, there is the indication that MPW is actually worth the price,
if you really need it.

For me, I was interested (past tense) in MPW because of its mulitple language
support, but can now live without it. (what a co-incidence...)
