We attempted to get a copy to try with a product we developed and
sell for A/UX. However, they claim they are only in beta now, and
can not release any copies of it. When we asked if we could simply
pay for a release copy now, so we could look at the beta copy to
decide if it had any potential at all, they refused.

My conclusion was that either they really need a marketing person,
or the product is no where close to release and is too unstable to let
any real customers see.

Does look impressive in the cute literature though.
