I hope you're not using Adobe as an example of "fair upgrade pricing". The
ImageStyler 2.0 (AKA LiveMotion 1.0) debacle, in which they offered NO
upgrade pricing to current ImageStyler 1.0 users (and in fact even held to
ridiculously false claims that it was an "all new program"?), lost them
hundreds of customers, at the same time stirring up a grassroots effort to
change their policy. It would be like claiming that Entourage shared no
code with Outlook Express, just because of the name change.
The point is, for us "early adopters" who jumped on the Office 2001
bandwagon in October and not now (a mere 3 months later), we get smacked by
an extra $150 out of pocket. Not a good way to treat us core customers, no
matter how "expensive and time consuming" the Carbonization is.
Just my .02.
