Hi Scott

I love the way Coffee Cup has done it's business up to now, built on the integrity of great support and solid products.

There are probably better ways to achieve good initial sales levels and not pi** off users who have waited patiently.

IMHO, if the products are ready for release, just do it. Don't play games.

This is why we are giving everyone advanced notice, so the playing field is level. If you really want it, you have the chance to be the first to get it. If it is really not that big of a deal to you, then that is ok too.

Owen,

If you'd put a lot of work into a project and wanted a good initial return how would you go about it ?

Just interested to read people's thoughts...

I do understand this from Owen's perspective Ian.

If I had a product that was very much in demand, I would be looking to maximise my return by selling as many as I could in a short space of time.

I have zilch idea as to how many are going to be sold on the first day. It may be 100, it may be 500, who knows? If it is over 500, then Coffeecup will end up with lots of very irate customers. :cool:

Then those users better get in early! It is actually 1000 copies, 500 Basic and 500 Professional versions. For those irate customers, we will just direct them back to the forums and say "We told you!" :)

We are also not doing this to upset customers. We always have a method behind our madness :cool:

Hi Scott & everyone who's into this thread!

This is a great forum.

I'm not an irate customer, I love everything that Coffee Cup does and this isn't going to change a thing :)

I'm just failing to see the method in the madness, in a broader context.

Scott I can't post my full reasoning on this forum. Can you email me?
