Rather than beeing explicit in attempting to read between the lines sufficient to compare the position of Xavius software.

The community has eagerly awaited the release of ATC 2 for years and it has been announced that the development has been shelved. Here also we are told that the project has had to give way to the commercial imperative of catering for the professional market. There are other examples, where this mantra is becoming repetitive, from which it is reasonable to infer that there may well be additional hidden pressures at play. We should expect and accept that we live in a very dangerous world and ultimately decisions must be taken about the security of certain aspects of available software.

Expect strong denials - software houses have a delicate juggling act to perform in maintaining their customer bases whilst under pressures to haul in their sails or at least keep them well trimmed.
