Hmmm... About time we received some positive news... <VBG>

Did some digging on a web query about Mr. Belanger and found some links pertaining to him, Metrowerks, and Motorola. I leave any speculation, as to whether his appointment is significant or not, up to the reader (and PARTICULARLY, TO ZEEV HED, MY GURU... :0):

After reading your story for an anonymous Motorola engineer (found via a link to the Yahoo! Apple message board), I posed some questions on the Metrowerks message board (MTWK) for any clarification (I go by the handle, macFanDave) I could get. Look at the response I got (I cut-and-pasted the following from the Yahoo! Metrowerks message board)!

--------------------------------

A lot of people on the nets have been indicating that we would not be interested in or even abandoning the Mac market after being acquired by Motorola SPS. Let me set the record straight. Every time there has been an important event in the history of Metrowerks, the boo birds come out of the woodwork and proclaim that we will give up the Mac. On every such occasion in the past we kept right on investing in the Mac business and CodeWarrior for Mac is still here. Pro 5 was probably our most important upgrade since we launched our Mac tools in Jan./1994. CodeWarrior for Mac is NOT at risk. The senior management of Motorola SPS have made it very clear to us that our Mac tools are a VERY important component of Metrowerks and they absolutely want the Mac tools to move forward as they have in the past. Any commentary you read on the nets to the contrary is totally false and incorrect.

Btw, Metrowerks makes CodeWarrior, the equivalent or VisualBasic for the Macintosh platform.
