I don't understand that answer.

Ise 6.2 clearly uses MainWin, or am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong.  Xilinx does not use MainWin

Hmmmm.... What other choices still exist which require a per-seat license?

: Yes, you are wrong.  Xilinx does not use MainWin


So where do the Wind/U related messages come from that Stephen Williams
reports  about in the thread "Impact vs. Linux RedHat Linux"

Or is Wind/U something different then MainWin. In that case, excuse my
ignorance.  

B.t.w.: Does Wind'U require a per seat license?
