I bought the earlier version which was horridly out of date and didn't
have anything of value that I could find.  Luckily the store I 
bought it at was willing to take it back (MicroCenter gets a plug
here).

I did just get a note from MetroWerks that their latest version
(maybe 6.x) is available now.  I checked their web site and
it does appear that linux is at the same rev level as their
windows offering.

I'm torn about the whole thing.  I really resented their attempt
at taking advantage of the fledgeling Linux market, but I also
appreciate that they are supporting Linux at all.

I hear they have drugs for schizophrenia now.  I think I'm off
to find a drug dealer...
