And not just NeXT. I hear that SoftPC has hit a sales calm over the belief
that the current 2.0 version is useless and the 3.0 version is the one to
have.

Alot of this is based on the fact that graphics speed is horrible. But now
there's a new reason, SoftPC doesn't run Windows 3.1. And as if that wasn't bad  
enough, the lastest versions of Borland's and Microsoft's development
tools don't work either. There's also some new real-world software that
doesn't work either.

Insignia, picture of a company getting slaughtered by new announcements.
