- I have one MAJOR problem with the OEDII's network policy.
- No network version of the software is available, nearly a year after the
- software debut. If people don't bother to put out an on-time version of the
- network software, then I don't think they have a right to restrict network
- use. What if you only HAVE a network? They want to charge you extra for YOUR
- time and effort in getting the damn thing to work on a network? Or prohibit
- you from using it at all?
- One *SHINING* example of this is the Patent Office's CASSIS product. We
- contacted them for help with a PARTICULARLY buggy release, only to discover
- that we couldn't run it on a network because we didn't have a network
- licence. We couldn't get a network licence, because there was no network
- version of the software.
