I think it&#8217;s a step in the right direction.  I&#8217;m glad they are adapting and I hope they keep listening to what people are saying.  And I hope they keep doing this.  I&#8217;m still not sure that the users part of it is that great.  I think that most likely a lot of people are still going to be getting stuck on that.  I almost think they need to have the free version be 3 blogs\/3 users, the personal use one gives you 5\/5, and then at the high end an unlimited use one.  Maybe even one between 5\/5 and unlimited.  So the pricing could be free, $60, $120 (for a 15\/15), $200.  And they can still have special pricing for ISP\/hosted situations if they want.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m used to seeing software priced by user from being a SysAdmin.  But I think most users aren&#8217;t.  They expect to be able to go out, buy a piece of software, and use it however they want (regardless of what the intended purpose of the software is).  That&#8217;s one of the reasons people are so up in arms.  The more I think about it the more I think it&#8217;s okay for them to have limits on the personal use license, but I think the limits have to be high enough that at least 80-85% of their users can get by with that first tier.<\/p>\n<p>I  will still stick with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.movabletype.org\/\">Movable Type<\/a> for the time being.  But I&#8217;m definitely watching the developments in other systems as well (notably WordPress).  Btw, for people out there familiar with WordPress, I saw on one chart that it doesn&#8217;t support multiple blogs.  True? False? Anyone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning Six Apart updated their info on pricing and licensing for Movable Type 3.0. I think it&#8217;s a step in the right direction.
