Is this personal preferences making the decision or the marketing person 
(whom I'm sure is hidden deep down) ?

I'm going to take a really bad example here, but its the only analogy I can 
come up with OTOH. Countless Micros~1 proggies require MSIE 5.5 (5.0 won't 
do) or WMP 12.3 (god no, 12.2999 won't do at all at all) or DirectX 
34.71467 or they won't work / install. This sickens me no end - being stuck 
in Windows at work. I think software should only force a user to install 
large bloated packages when it is absolutely necessary, not just cause its 
looks cooler if you do or it makes programming easier for the developer if 
you do. Let the end user use whatever tools they have at hand - which at 
the moment is most certainly MSIE.

Sure. I'm on for it as long as its not just me and Adam arguing all day :P
