Exactly, no bad feeling intended here either.
Gw is always saying how they listen to their customers, and we're
just giving them the chance to better serve us.
Folks who pick the download option will save them money by not having
to do a mailout.
Even paypal takes a cut off the top just for spending your money, gw
should get a little grease for letting you process you stuff ahead of
regularly scheduled updates,
like for instance, you'd get a free iso download at the times you
would normaly have gotten a cd in the mail, but for when you want an
up to the minute option so you can install on that new w7 machine, why not?
Just makes good sense to me.
Please take this in the friendly business request for service mode it
was intended, and not complaining or whining.
Hey yeh, and w7 the new horse in town has built in iso burning
abilities so you won't even need to get a third part option.

Right,
but one would think there would be a way, which doesn't seem at all
uncommon as a solution implemented elsewhere, for one to be able to
plug in their individual number when installing and it could have a
validation process like I think it already does anyway?? I am not
trying to attack GW or cause trouble, but it does seem to me that th
method of having to be mailed a hard coded CD is inefficient. That is
not the way it works with other software I have licenses for (not
screen readers) but other software such as security software, etc.
