If you feel offended by E-On offers you can always vote with your wallet and choose another application and another firm. For example, you might choose Carrara; judging from DAZ forums posts, works like a charm and there is the plus of dealing with a reliable firm with a long track record of trustiness and clear vision (unlike E-On).

Bye.

P.S.: there is something that I always have difficulty in explaining people: sometimes, losing customers (certain customers) is a huge plus for a firm.
