Jim,
I think that the sentiment here is that by voting with purchasing dollars,
users might be able to influence vendors into a more enlightened approach.
Some folks will simply not be able to use certain apps due to conflicting
dongles – I have seen this happen over and over on the PC, when someone
has tried to use too many chained parallel port plugs; or, they have run
into interrupt problems when installing more ports expressly for use with
dongles. Truth is, that dongles cause problems.
I would, however, stipulate, that users should appreciate the problems
with selling software, and meet the vendors half-way. Of course, that
will take some cooperation from the vendors, and I think that is what all
the negative talk here is trying to inspire 🙂
