I still think it's a shame that Daz is charging us for the bug fixes we should be getting by making us pay for a new version. Which will have new bugs. Does that mean we are going to have to buy C8 to get the bug fixes for C7? That is what we are doing now. Does not seem right to me.

Am I missing something here? Wasn't the upgrade to Carrara 6 free for version 5 owners? I know my upgrade from C5Pro to C6Pro was free anyway. I don't expect free to 7 but DAZ has been very reasonable with their software upgrade pricing for the past two years or so. Bryce 6 was $6! Sheesh! That wasn't even an upgrade price!!!

The only way you would have gotten a free version is if you paid for a version when it was getting ready to go out. (So essentially paying full price for an old version) Even the free magazine versions require an upgrade, usually under $200 per version. People simply are uncomfortable w/ having to pay another 180 to get possible bug fixes they never received. The not receiving the bug fixes is the biggest concern, paying for them is secondary. Basically it sets a tone people are not comfortable with.

I would add that someone should take the reference to Optitex out of the original post, since Daz stated this is NOT being worked on for Carrara.
