Good points. I am in the exact same predicament. I was ready to buy licenses, but now I am unsure. I'm looking at other options.

Let's look at the business impacts to Boonex that has been created by their annoucements and follow through.

Let's assume 5 customers per week were ready to buy a minimum of 4 licenses, but because of the announcement of Release 7 being close or just around the corner, they wish to wait.

5 customers x 5 licenses x $39 x 10 weeks thereabouts since annoucement see more = $9750. Boonex can plug-in more realistic numbers based on their historical trends.

So anyway, if we use these assumptions, the impact of a premature annoucement is $10,000 since the end of November. Experienced product managers and project managers get reprimanded, replaced or even fired for this kind of thing because most companies cannot afford to create false expectations and bad will for their customers.

I hope the next product annoucement from Boonex will lay out a realistic plan that customers can depend on so that the users and paying customers can adjust their own business plans.
