Look at your opportunity without blinkers
Michael
Thanks for your reply. Perhaps its time to think again by reducing the cost of upgrades you will get sales you wouldn't otherwise make and after all that is the objective of the summer sale - if you follow my maths you will see that even with a discounted upgrade I will have still spent more with you than if I bought the suite at full price and all in the space of a few months.
You also tie in existing customers further and will make more money on future upgrades to the larger number of webassist products that they will own!
I think you are creating bad feeling here and not looking after those who have supported you by previously purchasing your products.
I myself have made a very significant investment since the Adobe announcement of the death of ADDT and right now there is a significant opportunity for webassist to pick up a lot of ADDT users but you need good vibes in the dreamweaver community at large to help you achieve this and this is an opportunity to encourage those vibes.
So rather than quoting the script have a word with 'The Boss' and get him to read this thread and ponder on just what he may be missing out on - for the sake of some 'paper' dollars that really could really lead to significant growth of his and your community.

PS Please don't suggest the 800 number you can't dial it from Europe.
PPS When previewing this I had the thought that Blinkers might mean something different in the US from the UK, here they are the device worn by a racehorse to stop it from looking sideways. So go on now is your chance to prove that webassist is a thoroughbred too.
