Yes, I was sure you had a kind of answer here,

But the other platforms are not at all deserved here.
Namely Linux and MacOS (X or not X) and all the other friends... none of 
them are.

You could have partnered with Netscape also.. they have a LARGE row of 
platforms !

You can actually do much more when only on Windows, namely ActiveX 
controls. And one collection of these, the MuPad ActiveX controls, offer 
pretty much more than simple display of formulas.
