Dear Randy,

as I posted weeks ago, ACTOR seems to be one of the possible tools for 
developing WIN Applications. As I said, customers of mine use ACTOR in a large 
scale project and they are quite satisfied.
I guess, all a small project team will need for the first step will be a quick 
prototype and a complete environment for development. Since major applications 
won't grow over night, the skills you evaluate will help to speed up ACTOR apps 
in many cases. When your application will be finished, the standard hardware 
platform will have changed, so the lack of speed this days will be compensated 
by the gain of hardware speed.

Best of ACTOR is, you can actually SELL your work when all others are still 
fumbling with the handbooks of SDK. And you will see early, if the market will 
accept THE IDEA of your product. While earning money, you may evaluate the 
performance and get paid for this at the next update. This is what I call a 
development environment.
