And now less than 4 months after its release, we have to pay another $250/350 to upgrade to v7? Am I the only one who thinks this is a little strange? I could understand charging for the upgrade if we had a working product for a full year, but in many ways, even the official release of v6 seems like a beta. In fact we've had to move to 7EA just to debug under OS X (as most of you know, debugging under OS X with v6 is an exercise in frustration). I'm not complaining about the problems with CodeWarrior -- I understand it must have been a difficult task getting it to work at all under OS X. And I'm willing to work around the difficulties in order to do development under OS X. But as a regular customer of Metrowerks since the bronze/gold days, I personally think that charging a $250/350 upgrade to CodeWarrior 6 owners seems a bit excessive. Anyway, that's one man's opinion...
