Just so you don't feel like a lone voice in the wilderness, I'll chip in and say that I was a bit surprised that loyal customers weren't offered a slightly better deal.  Yes, as a P6 user, I was a bit miffed that I'm treated just like a P4 user, and I would have expected that they would have had a slightly more refined pricing structure.  It's the first time I've ever upgraded a piece of software and been given the same deal as someone several versions 'behind.'

It's certainly not in the same league as having to live in a cardboard box (not that anyone ever said it was), but it's a minor annoyance.

I've pre-ordered anyway, but if P7 turns out to be a bit of a dog, it will feel a bit like adding injury to insult.

I'm patiently(?) waiting to see.
