Well, considering I've only been on this list for about a week, I wouldn't know that. I would consider intentially starting a flame war pretty much childish and at the very least a waste of my time. I thought I'd learn something new, have some interesting discussions, etc, etc. I'll be sure and avoid being bated by moronic comments in the future.

At least this is a legitimate gripe. It seems to me that all Cycling 74 does is package and resell a product that is already in the public domain, namely PD. Apparently from the link, one of their few *actual* contributions, NATO, seems to actually have been ripped off of NN. Cycling has been announcing a PC version of Max/MSP for quite some time as well (a year at least?), and pushed back their original 2nd quarter release time, so why shouldn't be a consumer be angry? They're charging a lot for product developed by other individuals and public money. Sounds pretty fishy to me, IMHO.
