I prefer that developers get all my money so they can develop more. Updates are always weeks later etc...

June 30, 2025Jun 30 I stopped purchasing products from the MS Marketplace some time ago (because of the encrypted files/delayed updates etc), but I recently grabbed two products in the summer sale because they were not available anywhere else. Nevertheless, I do not intend to make a habit of it!

June 30, 2025Jun 30 I can purchase and install new stuff from (for example) Contrail in a few minutes. What's the difference?
