I agree with you, except for the deprecate part. Deprecating  
composite windows means deprecating Mac OS targets, because this is  
the behavior of modern Mac OS X applications. However I must admit  
that, a Mac application made with RB, is now so distant from a  
*standard* Mac application that the Mac OS target is deprecating  
itself. What the user perceive using a RB made application for Mac,  
is a legacy application. And this is not about using Carbon instead  
of Cocoa, but the fact that a Carbon application made with Xcode and C 
++ can leverage on features which RB simply can't access, even using  
declares.

Again, I agree only in part. I don't think returning licenses can  
sort any effect.
