Hi John
You hit the nail...
I sure know the difference between owning and leasing the product, but if I knew than, what I know now, I would have definitley signed the subscription package.
WA (in this case Ray) could have answered people like you and me off this forum with private mail.
I've signed NDA's for several betas (Interakt, Adobe...) and would not have lost any word about such an information.
