Viewpoint (VET) for OSX? 2004-01-27 - By nospam2

Hello Andrew,
Don't know about the macOS thing.
However, have you seen Viewpoint new licensing scheme ?
It is killing me also.
The entry step for developers is ... $995 a year (why not $999 ? Go wonder) !
This is absolutely crazy.
I must jump out of the wagon as certainly most of people on this list will, I
suppose.
If Viewpoint want to kill their technology, they obviously chose the best way .
..
They are taking just the opposite way than the one that proved successfull for
imposing de facto standards (Adobe with pdf, Macromedia with Flash) : low entry
step provoking widespread adoption ...
Today Viewpoint annouced on a press release that the plug-ins is available on
more than 60 % of internet users brwosers.
So what ? There is no content to see anywhere, and it is not to change tomorrow
with such a licensing scheme !
