Probably a very good product, but I'm in the category of "once burned, always
wary."  

A few months back, I downloaded the trial version, but the enabling code they
mailed me would never work, nor did I get any response whatsoever when I sent
mail to their site.  Apparently they registered my email address, since I get
frequent spam from them, but they couldn't be bothered to respond to my requests
for help. 

I'm used to waiting for reponse from user groups re open source products, but
IMHO a commerical provider needs to have a little better response than this.

Perhaps I'll try again or try to buy it during the Karnival madness.
