for the disatisfied go into a electronics store with your last years model camera or T.V. and tell them you want a upgrade for a discount because you bought it there last year,you will get a good laugh out of them but thats about all.
That's a very nice description of the consumer electronics industry. Perhaps you aren't well versed in the software industry?
Software upgrades are generally provided at a discount from the full-version. The purpose of that, of course, is to get people to upgrade--giving the company a revenue stream. Another purpose is to maintain a user base. Yet another is to keep people from switching to competing products.
KnifeEdge has done absolutely nothing to make me want to continue using their products. Poor service, poorly designed copy protection, and an upgrade policy that literally pushed me to their competition. If you enjoy purchasing from a company such as that, please do so. I'll spend my money where I see more value and appreciation, thanks. That's the nice thing about capitalism. You're free to make your choices, and I'm free to make mine.
