Yes, it's for pre-9 users. I'm not sure how E-on got the impression that the crisis is over though..... it may be in some countries, but in others it's worse then ever. I also wonder how people who faithfully upgraded each year or every other version feel about this.

Besides, I haven't upgraded for years and the bad economy had nothing to with it at all, it was Vue terrible upgrade policy and mediocre version releases. First, they release the next version of Vue, fixing bugs of the previous version in the new version, but leaving them in the previous version, that alone has stopped me from upgrading for years now. I'm not sure if they still do it, I've gone from Vue 6 to Ve 10 now and 10 seems pretty stable, so I don't know if they fixed Vue 10 bugs in Vue 11 and leaving them in Vue 10.

Then the mediocre releases has stopped many from buying. After Version 6, I've had version 7 and even version 8 and returned them within the grace period, wondering why I would want to pay full price for them. Now going from 6 to 10 it feels more like I'm going from 6 to 7 or perhaps 8. Compared to to Vue 6, Vue 10 doesn't feel like Vue 10 at all. I'm now debating going to Vue 11, but still haven't seen anything that convinces me to pay the upgrade price. Unless E-on gives me some special upgrade deal as well, I'm not going to 11.

At least ripping off non US citizens has changed, when E-On was still doing the whole 1 dolllar equals 1 euro (or whatever currency), they now give a much more fair exchange rate, so that's good.

Anyway, I'm sure there are more people who didn't upgrade just because of the bad economy, but for many other reasons.
