A developer friend received his copy, mine is on the way (or so I'm 
told).

Seems to work exactly the same as 2.11, only with snazzier 
window-opening things (and of course it's OS X bootable)

No, it doesn't. It *does* defragment your *directory,* but it's always 
done that.

Apparently PlusOptimiser will become a separate product again. 
"Disappointed" is not too strong a term for my feelings on this. I will 
be further disgruntled if DW 3.0 owners are not given PO as a 
free-or-nearly-free (ie no more than $30) add-on.

Yes, at least as Alsoft defines it.
