I had a rude awakening today. I had not received any notification from Informix regarding new releases of WingZ, and having been using the product for quite some time now thought that I should be hearing *something*. I called them up and found that their policy is to only notify those who have purchased support agreements of new upgrades, and that all others must purchase a new application. I may be a bit old-fashioned, but it seems to me that when you buy an application you at least deserve a mailing and an upgrade reduction when new releases are offered. However, Informix's policy treats a tried-and- true purchaser as a second-class citizen. It may be the case the WingZ is no longer software to use for spreadsheet analysis, I have not kept up with the times. However, with this kind of policy, I am on to new horizons one way or another, and suggest that others who have any use/interest in the product make a fuss to these jerks.
