Well, interface got a slight makeover, hasn't it? Makes it a little 
harder to read and wastes a little more screen space than before, but 
it's change, isn't it?

And you saying that nothing at all had changed... Now, really.

To be frank, the new fee isn't even the core issue for me. I did pay
for a new version of Outlook/Office after all, new versions of
respectable programs are usually not free. While I can well live with
that, I also expect something for it. I want to see the program
progressing (as in: getting better, opposed to "regressing", as in
TheBat), and I need to be convinced that the developement team has
their stuff together. What RIT has demonstrated around here the past
few years is a joke.


> NO WAY!

Of course not. Since the TheBat developement desaster has been
established (and this tragedy has been going on for years, let noone
say there were no warnings) I've been transitioning the clients I
service away from TheBat, some towards free alternatives like
ThunderBird, some to Outlook, some to payed products. I'm the only one
still using it around here, and that will cease too as soon as I've
grown accustomed to the new surroundings in other programs. In the
meantime there surely won't be a cent coming out of my own or, for
that matter, my clients' pocket going even in the general direction of
RIT.
