I dont know about that. If Im a consumer, looking to build .NET apps on MonoDroid, and I purchased MonoDroid last week, my expectation from the site is that I am paying for a product which includes 1 year of updates.

If in fact, their is no-one to make such updates, nor is their "an intent" to provide updates over the year, then that my friend is fraud.

So if they do not establish they HAVE intent, then in fact it would be like me selling you my car, with a year free oil changes, but I have no place to do the oil changes, i have no employees to do the oil changes, i have no intention of ever giving you an oil change.

They have not killed the product yet. They just got rid of the team. They haven't said they won't get a new team. Also, their product still works.

They def haven't committed any fraud yet.

I'm just as angry as the rest of you, I am just pointing out that all the conclusions that are being jumped to (that Attachment owes us something or fraud) just aren't true yet. They say we are entitled to any updates that come out for a year. The only way there is any fraud related to that is if an update does come out that is denied to us. They aren't guaranteeing that they will ever come out with an update. The discount code works, no fraud there. The product has not been officially killed for all we know they are hiring new people to take the product in a new direction. I doubt that's the case and wouldn't support them if they did, but since we can't prove any of this none of the below statement is true at this point.

    I dont know here, it would be to my thinking any company selling a
    product claiming one year updates, and still providing the
    DISCOUNT CODE for existing TOUCH USERS - AFTER LETTING GO OF
    ENTIRE TEAM, AND KNOWINGLY KILLED THE PRODUCT - would be
    constituted as consumer fraud...

    Which all did occur...

        Esspecially since we agreed that they don't in the contract.
        I know that you can't have a contract that negates a law but
        there is no law that says a company must provide user support.

        That being said I'm from the U.S. so I can't speak to
        anything outside this country. I just know my lawyer pointed
        out that clause in 10 minutes and asked me about promised
        support.

        You still have the "one year of updates"

            He said that a process can take really a long to court

            happens now?

            Out of curiosity does monotouch come with one year of
            support or just one year of upgrades? See below:
            MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT

            Novell has no obligation to provide support or
            maintenance unless You purchase an offering that
            expressly includes support or maintenance services.  If
            You make such a purchase and no separate agreement
            specifically applies to the support or maintenance
            services, then the terms of this Agreement will govern
            the provision of such support or maintenance services
            (“Services“).  For more information on Novell's current
            support offerings, see http://www.novell.com/support.

            I can't see where on the site it says anything about
            guaranteed support.
