Re: [Avid-L2] MC / Newscutter 6.5.4.4 & 10.5.4.4 patch releases live

 

Because the NBC's and other big users pay a hell of a lot more for support then the monthly nut a small shop has.    It's called service contracts,  and if it wasn't for them, there wouldn't be ANY development pushing forward at all.

The flip side of that argument is if I am a new user (which Avid needs desperately), why am I going to plunk down my $299 for MC8 and every year after, knowing that some of my money I spend is being used to fix patches for old software?  I could really care less that NBC (or insert your big user here) wants (free) fixes to a version 5 or 6 product.  I am getting in on MC8 and I expect the fee I pay every year is to push development forward, not to satisfy a customer that refuses to plunk down the cash and effort to stay up to date.  At least I know that my $299 spent with Apple on X is not funding old products.  Just another viewpoint from a small shop perspective.
