Two quick points...
It amazes me how people begrudge someone else getting a better deal than themselves. The nature of special offers - be it an upgrade price, an introductory price, buy one get one free or whatever is they are all inherently unfair to someone who doesn't qualify. There is a school of thought that says the only fair pricing policy is that everyone pays exactly the same price. Another school has it that the buyer should never be told a price and should make an offer which the vendor then accepts or rejects.
Can anyone blame e-on for not exposing their staff to outbursts that are appearing on some of the boards. First which forums should they be on. Renderosity, Cornucopia or Daz? The German, French, India language ones that have posts about Vue? The one in an oriental character set I can't read that google tells me has posts about Vue? That little forum over there in the shadows with two users who incompetently screen scrape content from other Vue forums to try to look busy? I for one would much rather they spent their time making Vue 6 (and Vue 5 to) the best product they can and that they gave out the information at one location (their web site) in order to avoid confusion, missinterpretation and missrepresentation.
