said by seagreen:Yeah - it's going to be a long time before I buy into that subscription business model. I can see why software manufacturers are doing it but as a consumer I really don't like it. They'll have to offer some pretty fancy product upgrades to get me to bite on that.
I'm with you.
I used to upgrade every other version.
This effectively doubles my upgrade price.
Way back when they promised the version update would still be available, not so.
So now I have to double my cost or live with the version I have forever.
They've extended this offer several times and IMHO they'll continue to do so because a lot of non pros are shying away.
Just my opinion.
