You had a window where you could upgrade for a reduced cost. That
window is gone. Now you will have to pay the full $795 for a seat one
time then you're back to your normal SWMA.
Perhaps IBM should have charged first like they did with OAR?
The problem with charging for WDSC is that even with it free, not a lot of
people used it. And if you remember the early years of WDSC, nobody
would have paid for it anyway. Certainly not green screen shops.
So that wouldn't have worked. Maybe they could have done the WebSphere
thing: give it away free, then charge for it, then give away the Express
version. No, people would still be screaming bloody murder. Or they
could continue to give it away for free, I guess. But that's not a very
workable revenue model.
