They gave some warning, of course, but people got very angry, and vowed never to change. They gave backwards compatibilty support through emulation, just as no doubt there will be info on how to convert 3.5 to 4, but again this was phased out over time.And you know what? OS X was much better, and slowly Apple have been increasing their marketshare. Some people held out for years, but now most people just giggle at OS 9. Change is always difficult.And then Apple did it again with Intel. They denied the move, and then suddenly it happened. Some people felt betrayed and vowed never to buy another Mac, but you know what ... it made the new computers faster and cheaper, and that too was seen, in hindsight to be a good thing.Can we drop the Apple analogies now? I feel bad for starting it  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> People here seem to be angry with WoTC because of what they did with Dungeon and Dragon magazines, and I can understand that. But this whole thing about them lying ... well, it is not like they are your mother lying to you about her secret boyfriend. They are a company who want to sell products, and cannot afford to tell people their full plans. They are giving 9 months notice for the new additions. They have a full release calendar until then. Earlier in the year they said a new edition was still a way off, and you know what, 12 months from saying that to me is a long way off. They didn't lie, they just didn't actively reveal everything. No company ever does. They need to continue selling thier existing products.</blockquote>
