[QUOTE="Dark Knight, post: 1104239, member: 11606"] Everyone seems to be asking what the big problem is with paying for the upgrade to X which was released today , the problem is that many of us do not support corporate greed , I posted this on another forum earlier today .... I am not saying that Macrium isn't good software because it is but the content of the upgrade doesn't justify the price increase in the software they are asking for. NOW , while some of you MAY be getting deals on the upgrade by buying three and four packs , per computer the end MAY justify the means. However, I would be purchasing (upgrading) for ONE computer and even with the 33% discount they are offering it is STILL more than I paid for V7 and is STILL around $50 more than I paid for the V8 upgrade over three years, and even worse would cancel out my V8 license, so after three years that V8 perpetual license I HAD would become useless should I decide not to continue paying another $140 for another three years after the first three expires because the backup feature would cease to work ...... so in MY case the end does not justify the means. Now If there was some big GUI changes or something else worth the price increase I MAY have thought about it , but to just image and recover my system a little bit faster does not warrant what they are asking for it , I can image my system now in about thirty minutes or less (1TB drive) and can recover it and be back up in running in about twenty or less, I don't need to do it any faster than that and is certainly not worth the $50 price increase ..... FOR ME Some of us ARE on a budget and need to watch what we spend . So yeah, Macrium can take their greed and stick it where the sun doesn't shine because while most here are singing the upgrades praises they WILL lose customer base from those like me due to that greed. I will stick with my V8 perpetual license as it will (should) work indefinitely until such time it becomes too outdated and if Macrium hasn't gotten the message from the customer base it loses by then I will go with something else. I sincerely do not begrudge anyone making a profit but this is borderline theft. [/QUOTE]
