Well I'm upset enough that I went out and registered for the board.
I bought MC9 a few months back. I spent a bunch of time here wading through the forum as a lurker to figure out the best way to accomplish what I needed to do. Once that was done, I went on my merry way to compile and use my library. I picked up an iPod for Christmas and came back last night to figure out how to best use my iPod w/MC. Well lo and behold there's a new version of MC (10) and I've now missed out (by a week or so) on the upgrade price?!
I often used the "check for update" on MC9 to make sure I was up to date, and was never notified that an upgrade to V10 was even a possibility, nor did I ever receive *any* email notice that there was a promotion to upgrade to V10 at a reduced price. FWIW (I recognize I'm only one angry customer) it just strikes me as bad business to offer upgrade pricing to existing (read loyal) users, but only those who read the board daily. I've used many other products from HW (Matrox, Pinnacle) to SW (Adobe, Pinnacle, ok...this list is endless) and as long as I have registered w/my current email address I've *always* been notified of promotional pricing as an existing customer.
I think you dropped the ball on this one, and you certainly alienated this MC customer.
My $.o2,
