Hi John - my opinion is simple: if you are serious about your software, you don't want anybody running your old versions.
There might be rational marketing reasons for going against this logic, but I'm not in a position now to abide those reasons. My opinion is that *everybody* should be running the newest, most fixed-up versions of my software. I do require upgrade fees for major releases, but I think the message is clear that I think the new releases are better. In summary, don't give anybody an excuse to form their first impression of your product on an inferior, outdated release. Giving a "crappy" version away is just an invitation to have people think your product is crappy.
