People have file-copy problems in Vista sort of the same way. Until it happens, it doesn't happen. I'd be tempted to make a VMware XP or W2K image that definitely exhibits the problem, and mail it to Atmel, and convince others to do the same. And write a letter(snail mail) to an executive or two. And contact someone in investor relations asking if they care to comment on reports that some major customers were planning to switch because of unfixable flaws in the dev tools :) Cheerful regards, Bob -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
