  Jim,
   
  I told WSI the same thing.  An additional $100 for TFRs and $300 for
  winds is just stupid.  And of course, the 'bad' maneuver that WSI made
  on Garmin ensured that WSI weather on the MX-20 MFD is a dead end
  product.  Garmin refuses to update it.
   
  WSI seems to have made a conscious decision to rape-n-plunder while they
  can, knowing that as soon as XM weather gets some certified
  applications, they'll be out of business.  The only place WSI will be in
  is corporate and other high dollar stuff that doesn't care about cost.
   
  This 'don't care about anybody but big guys and ourselves' attitude
  shows up in their refusal to provide usable flight planning software for
  the home computer.  They supply WSI to a lot of FBO, but it too is so
  stupidly expensive that a single pilot can never justify it.
   
  Natural progression:  Started out with the best product and leading the
  pack, has slipped back to one of the pack, and soon will be able to pack
  it in.
   
  Change and adapt, or die.
