Well, I can seriously do with them being free now....All software packages were developed with multi-platforms in mind. When microsoft release an upgrade, please bare in mind that they expect programmatically software feedback that in most cases happens in the background and so they begin to release patches. Microsoft is a paid product but to get something for almost nothing, we can be okay with it. NOW, my advise and has always been to my clients back in the days when I was a system analyst, never upgrade immediately because the only way vendors or software house can really sign-off on an upgrade release is by means of that extra journey by going live. It's part of the life cycle. For business it might not be so good if you have sla's in place, but we don't want to disengage our visitors or customers, For those who run small enterprises wound mind to upgrade that easily because the roll-back might not be so dramatic. But we have to eventually upgrade to stay relevant with the latest trends and technologies Everyone got a valid point, but if a module now becomes free and you paid it already, what's the deal really.....if it's free , bugs will be picked up sooner and when our guys release and upgrade....could it be that oracle or mysql had an upgrade to fine tune performance and lesser code this side.....there are only so many reason why we need to move on (upgrade)....nothing good comes easy.
