If you read what's been said in the thread, it's a stretch to conclude that they 
created the new system for us. They created it mainly to satisfy their embedded 
customers. 

I am strongly opposed to replacing newsgroups with a web interface, Fortunately 
for us, MW has no control over the com.sys.mac hierarchy and therefore I expect 
that's where Mac programmers will continue to come for assistance, regardless of 
when MW kills the codewarrior.* hierarchy.

I don't think that the siren song sung in other threads is unjustified. There's 
no question MW's Mac OS product has grown weaker compared to its competition.
