I am on the subscription service and if necessary I would much rather pay $120 ($60 x 2) every year for two CD's of the excellent quality that you produce than $120 every year ($30 x 4) for 4 CD's that were a rush, hack job. Besides, if I was upgrading my servers every 3 months with a new release I'd never get any work done! :-)
