WHAT?? Free upgrade to 7.4 only goes back 1 month?

Ok, I held of upgrading to 7.3 when PT for Vista was promised for the summer. That was amended to Winter this year, ok fine, so I upgraded in September.

So it is released earlier than that, but now it's another 50 clams! Is this Digidesign or Apple! I don't mind paying for upgrades, but cmon, twice in two months is ridiculous.

Completely agree - I bought my Mbox 2 Pro factory in June, drinking the Vista coming "this summer" coolaid/BS. I've been in software development long enough to know that delays like this are either due to poor planning and critical path failures or a lack of desire to support a configuration.

That said, I'm happy I didn't have to wait until the Spring...

However, I would be PI55ED beyond belief if I purchased within a 90 day window of the release date, and had to pay again. Smacks of needing to recoup additional development costs due to "unforeseen"/"not budgeted" "complications" (see earlier comment re: poor planning).
