dont take this as a critism but do you honestly believe SD's current failures have anything to do with its OS? That baffles me! You're implying that instead of the development team focusing on its current base of subscribers and they're support isssues they should redevelop the whole package for multiple OS's? Quite frankily i think that would **** off the current customers more than they are now. Its kinda hard to explain to a buyer that just spent 200 bucks on software that their already lackluster support will be further strained by the fact that development is starting from scratch to appeal to a greater audience. Also, i doubt ANYONE at this point is or should be worried about windows support of XP. They've already stated XPs support wont end until 2012.. and really who NEEDS support of XP in a car pc environment. I know in my 5 years of carputing i've never called microsoft for support. You install it, activate it and ur done.

I believe SD's failures come from the simple fact that they promised WAY too much in the beginning and release the software way too early in its lifetime. I'm sure more than half the people that were excited for SD failed to read the fine print that basically said you're paying 200 bucks to beta test a product. SD is dying because the developers failed to strengthen its roots before branching out to other avenues.
