I read with interest the announcement from the ME home page which read as appended below. Can I assume that these features are still not available on Linux and Mac? If so, I think it is very important to point out these limitations in such promotional material. While $30 isn’t a LOT to risk, still being honest about where the ball was dropped in terms of multi-platform support shows integrity and respect for your customers.

Cheers,

Chris,

Yes, those are Windows only, and you’re right, we should call that out. I’ve sent an email to the web guys to ask them to be sure and clarify in the future.
