The reply to the OT is not quite spot on.While Apple does release new operating systems, it doeas not stop supporting the previous versions. In fact it even releases bug fixes and other updates for previous versions of OSX.
So the author of the post is right to complain about bad business practice.

Yeah right, the Developer should keep updating obsolete and versions as they are making a killing on a $8.95. Grow up folks and get a life! There are the free ones and I bet you'd complain if they started to charge for those too.Monday, May 15 2006 @ 10:56 PM PDT

Perspective - Polar11
Let's keep this in perspective...Even Apple requires a full re-purchase of each major OS release (no upgrade or discount path). Is it ideal ? No. But you have a choice. If you don't want to pay for a new OS, then stick with your old OS. But when you do upgrade your OS, you should also expect that you will need to upgrade various programs to be compliant with the new OS.
The author of TCC provides free upgrades and tech support for the length of time that each Apple OS is current, then he upgrades his program to the new OS when it is released by Apple. How long does an Apple OS stay current ? Typically 1 year or more. How long will Tiger be the current OS ? Probably another 8 months. The cost for TCC is only USD $8.95 (7 Euros) so why all the fuss ? It gathers and provides a host of features and functions in an easy-to-use GUI interface. Sure, you just bought PCC then shortly thereafter Apple (and Northern Softworks) moved up to Tiger. That's life. Deal with it. It not like you lost out on hundreds or thousands of dollars in a sour investment. It is only 7 Euros.
As far as technical support, I have contaced the author on several occassions, and my experience is that he has been extremely helpful and responsive, even when my problem was clearly my fault.
In my opinion, TCC is a great value for money. TCC remains one of the most extensive, rock solid maintenance apps you will find, and TCC does not alter any low level system settings or daemons. Unlike ClamXav, or NAV, or Cocktail, and many other packages, the effects of TCC can be removed by simply trashing the application and restarting. I give it 5 stars for depth of features and terrific developer support.
