Hi Steve:

I did a quick trial to see what was added and if it was of any use. Discounting the UI changes (a matter of taste), it seems that few additions would be of use to me. The troubling thing is that several features which were in IS 2007, but have been removed. For example, you can no longer search for colors and you no longer have the option to have attachments stored in the file or in a sub directory. And there are inconsistencies such as displaying a file as an attachment in the selector but in the note pane, it shows up as a shortcut.

I don’t like subscriptions and don’t mind paying a fair price for software. But without significant improvements it seems like gouging to charge $179.00 for an upgrade and $279.00 for a new user. My needs and workflow have changed and become more demanding. Unlesss I am missing something, I see nothing in this update that would appeal to me.

How does Micro Logic expect to gain new users. or is their established base so large and loyal that they would upgrade? I don’t get it.
