FileMaker to end upgrade "amnesty" program in Sept.
"This is the last chance for thousands of FileMaker customers to move up to the ease-of-use and customizability of FileMaker Pro 7, the most highly regarded version of FileMaker in its history," said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president of marketing and services, FileMaker, Inc. "It's very unusual for software companies to offer upgrade pricing for users of versions that were originally available more than 10 years ago. But, this release delivers on a decade's worth of enhancement requests and we wanted all our users to take advantage of it."
In addition, licensed users of FileMaker Server 5.5, 5.0 or FileMaker Pro Server 3.0, 2.1 may upgrade to FileMaker Server 7 at the low price of $500, US, a 50% savings off the regular suggested list price. This special pricing is good in the U.S. and Canada until September 17. After that date, only licensed users of FileMaker Server 5.5 will be eligible for the discount upgrade pricing. The full version is $300.

Why didn't they take everyone off development of everything but Server Advanced so they could get it out faster? This stinks of the likelihood that when it ships, it will be buggy as hell. Or without all the features we want; speaking of THAT, where is Windosws equivalent JDBC and ODBC support for the OS X version of Filemaker? What are these people doing all summer - playing frisbee?
