- My current version (4.9.oxxx.0) appears to do more then the upgrade to the same level. Why upgrade just to get a redesigned screen? Will I be paying more for less?

- My thoughts exactly! What on earth is CIsco thinking? The feature list has been seriously cut! Net2Go is missing and all they give you is a slightly different screen in a new color. Cisco should really be ashamed of themselves for calling this an "upgrade". It looks to me like they are trying to squeeze some extra cash out of users to help offset the costs of the acquisition.

- I thought the same, but I tired of the messages that kept popping up about the upgrade. I paid the $24.99 upgrade, and I actually have better performance on my network. Network Magic used to lose the connection to the network occasionally, and hasn't done it since. For some reason, it also shows a stronger signal from my wireless computers.

(5 Comments)The way I looked at it is continous support of the software. I didn't think paying $25 was too steep, and I have less problems now.
