Metrowerks has discontinued the sale and development of its Intel x86
compilers.  This technology is used in Symbian development and was
acquired by Nokia last year.  

Metrowerks will continue to provide online support for Windows on our
CodeWarrior Community Forum and USENET newsgroups and will continue to
take bug reports submitted to supp...@metrowerks.com.

If you already have a license to use CodeWarrior for Windows this does
not affect your license to use those tools.

This also affected our Mac Hosted x86 cross compilers and we are not
licensing the x86 tools any more.  

We are currently looking at our options but I don't see any great desire
to be in the Windows market.   This may be a good deal for our Mac
hosted tools as we no longer have to worry about cross compatibility.
