So if I was to buy the upgrade in the states, what would be the average gross price?

Walter,
Remember its the squeeky wheel that gets the oil.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that Apple say all of the people with FT liceneces get shiny new Octo machines 🙂

Compare like with like, granted the US version might have sales tax added.

VAT is 17.5% in the UK, not 100% I can’t work out the US tax as i haven’t got a US zip number.

Rafalaos,
So what is going to happen? are people going to go on a software holiday? travel to the states, buy CS3, FCS and whatever else they can, stick it in the suitcase & fly back. A few days in New York & a visit to the Apple store sounds great!
Or people can get their US living auntie/cousin/exwife, whatever to buy it for them and ship it over. Actually, exwife would be a bad idea, the box would contain a brick 🙂
The other thought is actually making money out of it – go over there and buy 5 boxes! Get ’em past customs and away you go, free holiday.
As one videotape distributor said who was pirating a production of mine, ‘Nature abhors a vacuum”

[walter biscardi] “Criminal to me is selling a $5,000 product like Final Touch which does not work and then taking all tech support away when the company is bought by Apple. We’ve had it on the shelf for something like 6 or 8 months because it does not work correctly. Now I’ll have to pay for an upgrade to actually get a working product (maybe) after Apple re-introduces it. “
Walter,
Ouch, $5,000 is a lot of money to sit on a shelf. What has Apple said about this? nothing? In the UK we have a sale of goods act which means if something doesn’t do what it is supposed to do, you get your money back.
Did you pay for it with a credit card?

Walter,
I posted it here as there have been about 4 announcements/posts about CS3, but you are right, I will post on the photoshop forum too and anywhere else I can rant.
Maybe if enough people know about it and complain, things might change – look at the way other companies have ‘annoyed’ end users and never recovered. Digital Vodoo springs to mind.
