This is ironic. Even Microsoft pales beside this kind of business practice.

The following quote from Ralph Schmidt completes the picture:

<Laire> sotto: warpup mag vielleicht auf den bis jetzt ausgelieferten boards

(Translation: "WarpUP may be compatible with the current boards, but this
will change in a week or two.")
