Hamid,
        They keep their sales contact and customer support people in an 
isolated CAD-free sterile environment. Just like when you want avoid patent 
infringement for designing a similar product to one that is already covered by 
patents. Otherwise also known as "plausible deniability".
        They most certainly are never allowed to read this server list! I also 
think that the fellow you talked with has now certainly been moved from a 
customer contact position since he is now 'dirty', as far as being able to make 
the company's claims without conflict or prejudice.

Sincerely,

I can say that I have personally experienced both and will be willing to 
testify under oath to the same.

I got a call from my "Regional Altium Sales Rep" in March 2005 (last 
month) to introduce himself and see if I would be interested in buying 
more copies of DXP/2004 or other products.  This was an Altium employee 
and the caller ID did list Altium as the source of the call.  I told him 
that I still used 99SE and exactly what I thought about DXP/2004 (that 
it is a huge step backwards).  He told me flatly that this was the first 
time that he had hard of someone preferring 99SE over DXP/2004 and the 
only reason people are still using 99SE is because they do not have the 
money to upgrade to DXP/2004.  He told me that the company is not aware 
of any unhappiness in the customers towards DXP/2004 and is not aware of 
any customers that have gotten DXP/2004 and are still using 99SE.  I am 
the first one to ever report unhappiness with 99SE to the company, yes 
the first customer ever.  

Now you tell me, does this person not know what he is talking about or 
is he a bold face liar?  I will not even go into all that transpired at 
led to my buying the license.

Hamid
