Congrats, you just lost my business

While I can respect your business decision, the fact that you adopted a malicious virus-like method of deleting existing files from MY machine with no choice or warning when I decided not to upgrade is incredibly offensive and irresponsible. I was actually planning to submit a business case to purchasing for the upgrade but after your malicious deletion of my property, no, I think not. Further, I am investigating alternatives to the RedGate products we currently use and will advise all the developers under my department to do the same.

btw, ILSpy works great. Good job on alienating your customer base, Redgate. Can't believe the CEOs have come so far from their roots that they thought this was a good idea.

Yep. Exactly. Redgate likes to argue that Lutz Roeder was the one who put in the delete/forced upgrade timebomb. The difference was, Lutz always offered a free version to upgrade to.
