As already stated, the best statistical analysis of this would be in sales numbers.  How has the announcement of 4e affected online or FLGS sales of 3e content?  I think this could say a lot about how much market there will be for a 3.75 product.I have started and run my own business and we had up to 40 full-time employees at one time.  I would, IN NO WAY, bank my companies assests and the livelyhood of my employees on a roll of the dice (so to speak).  And with the information we have today, a 3.75 version would be a risk I could never justify, and with the information at hand, would not be able to justify to any current outside investors.I really hope that WOTC gives a select group of quality 3rd party companies an early release, and allow them to help seed/nurture the 4e market.I disagree with a few of these points:1. I think that allowing a select group of 3rd party companies to launch products in parallel to WOTC will allow the fans of that publisher to feel compfortable with 4e and then eventually come on board whole hog.  This will help once and future grognards as well as 3e purists to trust 4e.2. The Creature Catalog, one of the more well know books to beat WOTC to the punch was NOT considered high quality.  It had some neat ideas and sparked the Scarred Lands growth, but its quality was poor or marginal at best.3. Third party setting supplements will only aid in the sales of the core books.  And aid in some of the change control I mentioned in #1 above.</blockquote>
