I may just be overly cynical here, but you make it sound as if they are
doing me a favor by doing something they already said they would do as an
enticement to purchase their product. It was a good deal, but they only get
credit for it one time.
Excusing any poor handling of upgrades/product rollout as "life in the real
world" is simply a ringing indictment of management, BTW.
Not meaning it as a criticism, but it's been pretty obvious that Trelos was
being run by gearheads and not suits -- nice product, poor marketing. They
appear to have picked up some suits in the merger and at least they are
paying _some_ attention to their single-user base as opposed to the major
dump in progress on the "hobby" user by VMware (eliminated hobby pricing of
$99 -- it's now $299!!!)
