Maybe I'm missing something but why do people post these messages?
I mean for those who use GW Connect - that is to say those who want to
use it - you get an "update" notice when new versions are released so
what's the point of wasting band width in sending emails like the one below.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Wayne, IN (May 22, 2012) - Last December, GW Micro announced a
free gift to
everyone in the form of GWConnect (formerly known as GWSkype).
GWConnect is an
accessible program for your PC that is plugged into Skype™ and offers
many great
features including free voice calls and text chat. GW Micro has been
hard at
work to add many of the features that you have been asking for. Among
its many
new features and enhancements include the ability to rename contacts,
create
custom contact groups, send SMS messages, manage multiple live calls,
set your
voicemail greetings, and even set your privacy settings from within
GWConnect.
One of the most common requests we received is for GWConnect to be
able to run
ad-free. GWConnect 2.0 introduces method of running without without
advertisements! While GWConnect is available for free to all users,
like many
other free apps, it includes periodic advertisements. While Window-Eyes
customers have always enjoyed a commercial-free experience, users of
GWConnect
who were not Window-Eyes customers would receive a short advertisement
every
thirty minutes.
You have asked and we have listened. GW Micro is proud to announce that
GWConnect users who are not already Window-Eyes customers, and wish to
have an
advertisement free experience with GWConnect, can now choose to purchase
activation keys to remove GWConnect advertisements. By purchasing an
activation
key, anyone is able to have a commercial free experience! After
purchasing and
installing the activation key for GWConnect, you will no longer receive
advertisements when using GWConnect.
You can purchase a GWConnect activation key for two different time
periods:
monthly or annually. An activation key provides you with the ability
to use
GWConnect with no advertising on up to five computers. If you choose
not to
purchase an activation key, you can continue running GWConnect for
free with
advertisements. Or, if you are a Window-Eyes customer running version
7.0 or
later, there is no need for you to purchase an activation key because
you are
already experiencing GWConnect ad-free.
The cost for a GWConnect activation key is only $4.99 per month or $49
per year.
Call the GW Micro Orders Department now at (260) 489-3671. You may
also order
online at www.gwmicro.com/catalog/gw_connect. Please note that you are
not
purchasing a license to run GWConnect, but instead purchasing an ad-free
experience during your GWConnect session.
An Internet connection is required to use GWConnect. Free technical
support is
available via the GW-Apps email list, which you can sign up for at
http://www.gwmicro.com/lists.

GWConnect,
