I like and use one Aieesoft program. I like them. I have not heard that comment before about updating. I know that Real Player (I own a version of it) does make you buy upgrades to its programs. So some do, some don't. If it's a major version, say from 10 to 11, then I suspect most require paying to upgrade. The giveaways are for the specific version. Anyway, this is simply to say I do like Aiseesoft. My cable went down last night, I think everyone was writing and calling home. Happy Easter to everyone!
