    One of the founders of Roon commented on the credit card issue on another forum, stating he dislikes having to require a card for the trial.

    Roon is now live!

    I agree with you Amir - a big misstep on their part. It's enough for me to pass on the trial as well, despite my interest. FYI..it does support W7.
