Hi,

I have been writing software for about 16 years now (I know MASM by his first name, TASM too).

In all of that time I have learned that Mic**soft is arrogant (much like Limewire is now) in the upgrade department. I try REAL HARD not to buy micro**ft products.

As a counterpoint, I like Borland (now Enprise) products.

Here is why:

I have spent several thousands of dollars on code compiliers of each.

Whenever I contacted microsoft with a problem; they said I needed to buy the next version of their product for a fix. They also provided me with a phone book size list of 'bugs' in their current product that I needed to live with. Forever.

Borland, provided patches for free. And apoligized for the problems. The list of 'bugs' were fixed in the same version with upgrades.

I appreciate the product that Limewire is providing, heck, it is my favorite.

All I ask is:

Where is the money going?
Why torture faithful users with this upgrade crap?
