Hi guys,
Its the Bitsum guy here ;p. Yes, I monitor this thread too
. Mouser's site kicks ass. His Process Tamer is what motivated me to begin enhancing Process Lasso. Before being renamed, few people knew Process Supervisor was anything more than a task manager.
Anyway...The one-year update policy is something I'll have to think about. Each year will cost you an additional $10 (50% of retail) for updates. Of course, you can continue to download older versions for as long as you want. I have to find a balance between making money and doing service for the community. I would love to give everything away free all the time, forever. But, then how am I going to keep developing software? Its a tricky issue and I hope people consider the other side of the coin.
Mouser, for instance, is providing a GREAT service to users in that he has developed all sorts of neat utilities for free, often at the request of users even. But although his stuff is free, if he doesn't eventually get donations, surely he will be forced to start allocating less time to DonationCoder and more time to a jobbie job.
Think about it. And donate to Mouser if you use his tools. Buy mine if you use mine. If you can't afford to do this, that's cool too though. That's why I give away the student version of PECompact and have Process Lasso lite. Additionally, if you email me asking for a free license because you really can't afford it, I'll likely give you one.
So.. keep us in mind guys

Thanks,
Jeremy
