that in order to use Word 2004 for manuscripts I have to shell out for another upgrade of Endnote. How many times has Endnote screwed us by making us scientists wait for "the next version"? How about a cheap patch to make v7 work with Word 2004? Nothing else in v8 is compelling. Fool me thrice, shame on whom?

...that's how they operate. they wait until everyone uses osx or until MS actually comes out with a new version of word, then, or rather a few days later, they start "developing" and voila after a year or so, lagging months behind the windows version, they present you with a brand new EN for mac at an "upgrade" price. And they consider themselves committed to the mac platform.

This is indeed nothing new for this company. I've written about it before:

http://netapps.muohio.edu/blogs/darcusb/darcusb/archives/2004/05/16/deja-vu-endnote-and-word-2004

I saw what they were doing a couple of years back, and am no longer an Endnote user. When you see this practice (paid bug-fixes) a first time, one might give the company the benefit of the doubt. But this has happened over and over. In my opinion this is a company that has utter contempt for its users.

We're long overdue for better open source alternatives.
