3 rumours about MD3

Heard a few interesting things about MD3.
If my informant, admittedly far from a technogeek, is correct, the new version throws up ads that stay onscreen until the GP hits the 'go away button'. There's no suggestion, as yet, that the ads are in any way tied to the patient's history or script writing, although reader's comments would be welcome.
From what I hear though, mightn't be too much of a problem n the future, with some of the big advertisers having already stopped advertising on MD, presumably due to price considerations.
And, it could be a coincidence, but an important state based ehealth pilot trial is finding that all of a sudden, GPs involved in the project are converting to MD3. A targeted sales push perhaps? Trouble is MD3 is incompatible with the software used in the project. You've got to think changes could be incorporated into MD3, but sounds like the clever Dr Bateman might just have the relevant health department over a barrel. Chances are, he's not going to do it cheap.
