Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. this is what OUR community is doing to us these day. I wonder how someone who claims he’s respectable can connect two completely unrelated sources of information into something negative towards Microsoft.

What does a marketing exercise to promote the flow of ideas and creativity correlate with paying for the operational costs of maintaining a marketplace?

 

Wow I say.

 

Ed, if you’re reading this, please pick on something that makes more sense. Ask us why we’re charging for updates, give us your honest and direct feedback about how unhappy you are with it, but drawing wild unrelated conclusions is unprofessional.

on a side note, Magnify did this for FREE. get your facts straight.

  yes yes I know you guys are wondering what we're doing with app updates on the Marketplace, but that is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT from us running the Fantasy Apps activity. Correct? How are those two associated at all? I'll write up an explanation why we are charging for updates when I get the official word.

  MS should not require payment if developer gives versions of app:

1. Version for lower mobile versions even (gasp) iPhone.  Yes, if you have to rip the competition even on the web marketplace area not just product choices.
2. Version upgrades. Older versions still available for those who bought and may need another copy if they lose their device. This is customer care, in a way, leading to loyalty or more stickiness to the product as a whole.
