well the point I was getting down to is this, I can easily compare this program to freeware programs where they accept donations, but not to other shareware programs.
Normally when you buy shareware there is other benefits such as official support and possible exclusive use of beta software, with mirc I dont see any advantage for the registered user over anyone else. Yes there is morals for buying what you should be contractually buying, but is the author having morals for classifying this as shareware?
I seriously cannot understand the decision of such closed beta testing, there is nothing wrong with knowing what future new features are going to be, but I can see the issues that have been raised with closed beta testing, there is obviously a huge rejection to the new gui layout both on here and on all the irc networks im on, had the beta test been more open khaled would have known this before 6.1 was released.
I hope my points of view are taken upon.
