- I don't think so!!!!!!

- You paid for MUI V3.x. 3.x is not a bugfix release, although I am sure there
- were bugs fixed, it was a major update with many added features. I paid for
- V3.1. Now I am using V3.3. Two bugfixes for free.
-
- Every single piece of commercial software I own that has been upgraded I had
- to pay for the upgrade. The upgrade fee for MUI is $10. If these whiners
- can't afford $10 then how can they afford to own a computer. And, if they
- don't agree with the SASG/MUI fee structure or upgrade policy why did they
- register in the first place.
-
- I for one don't give a crap that you don't like the policy. If you don't like
- the policy don't register or upgrade. It's not like the policy was changed.
