Let's be honest they have lost the plot .. the ide would be fine. I have
bought paid for and havn't used perl studio cost $99 not bothered whether I
use it or not if I do then thats fine if not thats my problem and $99 is
neither here nor there. Multiply this by the thousands who probably will
use it and get "hooked" and you have a revenue stream for years with people
paying you $50 a year for updates - but no support. Bill gates whatever you
say about him knows this.
He took copy protection of multiplan sales soared why? people copied
multiplan/excel gave it to there friends (illegally) but people got hooked
and wanted to be legal so microsoft started the upgrade treadmill. Zend
would not have that problem most companies that rely on a product would want
to be legal. They have smelt the money at the end of the rainbow and missed
the pot by their feet.
They can charge the big companies who pay the microsoft tax for the extra
nannying that they need/want/expect but why give the razor free and then
charge $6000 per blade? Charge a nobrainer price (for a limited period)
and we would all jump in i predict.
are you listening zend?
touche about the ide is what we are interested in. I would gladly pay money
to Soysal when phped installs on 1 machine without problems - I havn't used
it properly yet but I am hopeful
My 2ps worth
