Based on Madshi's post that Chros linked.

Paraphrase:
<<
Madshi's business partners do not want madshi to continue a full feature PC version, because , in the Partner's experience, Their Lumagen Hardware box sales TANKED , when a competing store began to sell Madvr equipped/specced HTPCs..

That is an extremely CLEAR statement. The MONEY when it comes to Hardware boxes REQUIRES Exclusivity, especially under their current pricing model.>>

I am merely stating that, given the Market and the certainty of the Recession, A Software Version will be easier to maintain, an easier sell, and doesn't require as much consumer education or live-middlemen.

It's not fear-mongering, we're following the money, that's the single thing a business responds to.
