I would like to know a estimate on when a windows version will be available, and will the Enterprise Edition be able to produce cross-platform or would I need to purchase mac and windows versions?

Thanks

We can't make any firm promises, but we are trying to get it done before the end of Q1 of this year (i.e. April 1st)

The question of whether one would have to purchase a seperate Windoz version was not answered I am going to self publish my own screensaver and I would prefer cross platform rather than two differant CD's. Will I have to buy two unlimited versions or one

Pricing is yet to be determined, but we anticipate the windows + mac version will be significantly less than the prices if purchased separately.

There has been a bit of confusion on the issue. We have not made our final decisions, and are waiting on the resolution of some technical questions before we do, but our best estimates are that:

(1) Initially, there will be separate Mac and Window versions. A Mac version will be required to build a mac screensaver, and a windows version will be required to build a windows screensaver.

(2) Each version will be priced and sold separately, but we will offer a substantial discount for people who want to purchase both versions.

(3) In the <hopefully> near future, we will upgrade both the Mac and Windows versions, so that either version can build a screensaver for the other platform (i.e. Mac could build both Mac and Windows).

(4) Due to differences in the Mac and Windows operating systems, you will never be able to have a single file that runs on both systems. (This is true of all Mac and Windows software).
