Confused about V7.0

As usual I am in the dark concerning WDSCi.  I got a notice at the
beginning of the week that V7.0 would be available today and it had all
these nice new features to be able to streamline the product for what is
needed.  Today I click on check for Updates and I get something about
6.0.1.1 May 3, 2006.  Then I read the email and there is something about
a "seat license" for V7.0.  What is going on?  I got blasted for making
the statement that I thought this was an advanced Beta product.  I am
beginning to think, now, that it is a bait and switch by IBM to get us
into a feature that was included but now is an extra charge item.  What
I am understanding is that in addition to paying the license fee for PDM
we will also be required to pay a seat fee for WDSCi.  Since WDSCi is
lacking some features from PDM we can't discard it. 

All that off my chest here are the questions;

1.      Is there now a seat charge for WDSCi?
2.      What is the status of some of the "bugs" that were to be fixed
in the "next version"?
3.      Why is an update from May 3, 2006 showing up today as available
when last week there were none available?

 

Thanks
