Hi Christian, >> Why the HELL do you guys think i should pay for an upgrade to 4.x when >> not even half the bugs have been fixed from 3.x??
Years ago, I bought from Rhinosoft their excellent FTP-Server 'Serv-U'. In the price was one year upgrade guaranteed. (you can also choose for a 2-year upgrade guarantee, you've to pay more of course then). After that period was over, I had to decide, whether to renew my subscription or not. Of course, shortly after that, a new version was introduced. So I renewed. I did that till this very month, every year again. The program became better and better, got feutures I never used, older bugs disappeared, new bugs came, several old bugs remained. I had to save money now, so I decided not to renew again and moved to the Open source FTP-Server FileZilla. It has the same functionality, it misses some luxury which I don't need at all. This is just one of many similar examples, the worst might be Microsoft itself with those many new operation systems over the last ten years. You pay a lot of money for an extremely buggy OS and you pay again for a next new OS with a bit new functionality but with lots of old and new bugs. And that begging and praying for Servicepacks is going around the world every time. Linux isn't an alternative for me, it needs too many commandline shit for the things I need. So I'm tied to M$. My problem with The Bat!.... there isn't an Open Source alternative yet, which has TB's functionality. IMO it's the best emailclient available at the moment, nevertheless how many bugs and wishes there might be (and there are). Zimbra, Eudora and Mulberry as open source emailclients aren't at the level yet I wish and need. I feel tied to TD at the moent, so I renewed my subscription for 4.1. Maybe next time not anymore. It depends...... -- Regards, Gunivortus Using The Bat Vs. 4.1.1.4 RC1 (BETA) under Vista Ultimate 32 bit ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.1.1.3 (RC1) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
