I can understand your feelings about this - others have complained of 'apparent' bait & switch tactics by this developer. But there's a sound technical reason which requires (so far) THREE different version of this applicaton.
That is:When Apple releases each major point-upgrade (Jaguar-Panther-Tiger) - they've made major changes to the System in order to increase functionality (and to compete with Windows OS). This, in turn, requires major re-writing of Deja Vu.
This developer may be "good" or "bad" on other points - but they MUST create new versions of their backup software because Apple MUST continue developing OS X. There's a lot of cost involved in this process which is never apparent to us, the customers. So I do not believe that this is "dishonest" but a regrettable necessity if the developer is to continue offering this software.
The above is just MO, as a career purchasing executive and long-time Mac user.
