New HPS titles?

[FLG]

Am I only one missing this but TWIE now contains an OOB editor.

This is not correct - not sure where it came from or said this - but if it does say it it is in error

I think TWIE needs a few improvements to make it really good and number one on the list was an OOB editior.

The OOB in WSF is locked just like TFB.

Err ... it's in the official release information.

Well at least someone has figured out how to hack the OOB file.
