No, I think they were A) insulting (ignoring another multitasking product)
or B) just plain sloppy.  Because it's not a press release, I'm not that
worried about it, but it's just another sign that SHS isn't really that
in touch with the GS world as they'd like us to believe.

Someone says "Spectrum sucks" and there's a hullabo and uproar about it.
I don't recall you posting in response to any of the people who flamed the
people who posted those original words (convoluted sentence there:).  Seven
Hills sure got upset about it, though, claiming that "they'd leave the GS
world" if they got more of these types of comments.

So now Seven Hills releases information which says that, although they aren't 
"deliberately making Spectrum not work with GNO", Spectrum will only
multitask with The Manager.  Absolutely uncalled for, inaccurate, and untrue.

Yes, I think it's a Big Deal, and quite frankly really disgusting.

Oh, and Henrik: that silly 'infinite loop' comment applies to you as much
as to anyone else.  Why not actually try and comment on what _I've_ said,
instead of just congratulating those who happen to hold the same viewpoint
you do?
