Subject: RE: [Virtools] Virtools Promises and CompetionIn reply to Kam's post and to keep our Creation users up to date.
Virtools has decided to stop development of our Creation software. It was a difficult choice for us to make, but we felt it was the only option that would guarantee the quality of our software. With the growing complexity of Virtools products, it has grown unmanageable for us to develop both Creation and Dev simultaneously.
Since Creation 2.0 will not be released, we have looked for alternatives to the free upgrades that were offered with purchase of Creation software. For those of you who have purchased Creation, you will be able to get the complete Virtools Dev 2.0 package at a reduced update price. For those of you who don't wish to take advantage of this offer, for whatever reason, we will be publishing an exclusive version of Dev 2.0 designed specifically for Creation users. This version will be available under the same conditions as Creation 2.0 ($300 if bought before September 1, 2000; free update if bought after September 1, 2000 as promised).
We know users have put their trust in our software, and we made this decision in order to continue providing quality technology.
In the past weeks, we've been preparing the upgrade details and conditions that will go online soon. We'll keep you posted.
A warm thanks to User List contributors from all Virtools employees. You are the ones who make it possible for so many users to move ahead with their projects and development. I hope to touch base again in a future User Day event.
All the best,
Mathieu
