Bugs, smugs. Didn't even ask about the upgrade policy. Didn't think I needed to. If its bad broken, WC will make it right. I did visit the RedHat site before back ordering my Applixware from WC. Appears there is a "regular" and a "pro" version. The main difference is the "pro" version does Microsoft formats. Or maybe its "more Microsoft formats." Seems like $100 and $250 were the prices.
