We are considering this a type of Vote. If we receive $200 nationwide we will consider it a YES vote to Windows utilities. If we don't receive $200 nationwide for these two programs we will consider it a NO vote to Windows Utilities If we can't get 200 people to send in $1 across the whole country then we will consider the interest to be too low to justify writing any more programs.
