Is this DevExpress's way of retreating some of their own resources from the forums? I'm not saying that I have a problem with that - it makes good business sense, it's just possibly sending the signal that DevExpress has got to the size where other companies have started to ignore their existing customer base. I would suggest that the next release appears to signal DevExpress are different as rather than a major round of New bits this has tidied up a lot of outstanding issues which indicates that you are still very much customer focussed I just want to ensure that you remain the excellent supplier that you have been (as well as grow of course).

Steve: Huh? Er, no. It's a way of helping customers better, it's a way of rewarding those customers who help us help others, it's a way of promoting and enhancing our community, etc. DXSquad has been around since the very early days of DevExpress and we're recognizing that we should grow it and promote it better. There is no hidden agenda here.

Cheers, Julian

Great Chris!  Does this mean you can now push for localised aussie southern hemisphere editions of DX products that run upside-down?
