Just wanted to say that I *love* the pricing scheme.  I think the
upgrade price is more than fair to the customers, and (barring any
major disasters) I will definitely pay the $9.95 upgrade price.

I post this to support The Omni Group for their hard work as well as
their IMHO fair-minded upgrade pricing.  In contrast, there has been
some recent heated discussions with CodeTek Studios' VirtualDesktop,
a virtual desktop / workspace app.  The current price is $30.  There
is a new version, 3.0, in development that's supposed to have lots of
improvements to work with Exposé and X11.  The problem is that the
developers wanted existing customers to pay a $25 upgrade fee to 3.0.
Then came the flak.

Apparently, after the flak, CodeTek relented and decided to lower the
upgrade fee to only $15 for existing customers.  So before we all beat
up The Omni Group for this or that, let's not forget that their prices
are still more than reasonable compared to other companies!
