HANSTYO Fell into that sneaky upgrading trap. Went for a try - no new features to speak of really. And even more annoyance: If you go for 'try' it will pop up endlessly to ask you again and again if you want to try or buy. All this pestering for $20. No thanks. not that I am not willing to pay for software, but considering that the Snow Leopard upgrade is $29 this is a rip-off. (Version 2.0) | |

RUSSTTROMBONE $20 bucks for a free program? I'm still looking for the $20 worth of new features. Considering Snow Leopard will be a $29 upgrade I'll be expecting a lot more than force quit and airport restart. While I'm on that subject, it takes a lot more time to go mouse over to a menu and use it to force quit something than it does to press a key command. I will be sticking with the free version forever. (Version 2.0) | |

Y-GUY Sad this once great program is now just a marketing ploy for cash. There are no features that were added over the older free version that account for charging $20. Now that I have Snow Leopard I thought I'd try it out, and I've since removed it. Not going to pay when other programs that do the same thing are free. (Version 2.0.2) | |

ASTARTEN v1.7.4 is available for download on the developer website. Look under FAQs, it says 1.7.3, but it is in fact 1.7.4. (Version 2.0) | |

BOBSTER Thanks for the tip Astarten, indeed they are still offering pre-v2.0 for free! And you can switch off auto updating too... nice. (Version 2.0) | |

NOBODY84 20$ for the same old app with only a GUI rearrangement and new icons, minus the Restart and Shutdown options after a batch operation and the foreign language localization? These guys are nuts, I'm sticking to the old 1.x version forever. It's not a matter of wanting the apps always free, it's just I know when someone's trying to rip me off :-P Oh, and BTW, just to get a few facts straight, these guys have absolutely no relation to the original developer of the app (wich has all my respect) - they just bought the rights to Rights to MainMenu, Santa Software and www.santasw.com.

MACNEWS To the so-called developer: All you've seemed to do is change, and not-necessarily-enhancek, the graphics. So you bought the rights to the app. So what? What did you do, other than purchase the rights? So you need to recoup the costs. So what yet again? Perhaps you need to reconsider draconian recovery costs for actual product enhancement, improvement and delivery expenses? I fear that, at your current rate of governorship, you have only sped the demise of the product. (Version 2.0) | |

AESCHYLUS True, this is too greedy at $20 for an app with so many free alternatives. What worries me most is that with a new developer, and Snow Leopard around the corner, who knows if they will adapt Main Menu? Perhaps the $20 will be for a program that is incompatible in 2 months. Also, Snow Leopard itself only costs $29. It seems like a better bargain, right? (Version 2.0) | |

JAZZYGUY Pennyhead1: This is NOT the same developer that originated MainMenu but a Software outfit that bought it and is chrging an outlandish price for it. They do this often buying other developer's free products and then selling them for prices that are really ridiculously high. (Version 2.0) | |

DOC RENAUD Sorry, I stick with the free version. 20 bucks is too greedy. (Version 2.0) | |

ICONZ113 these guys arent even developers, the purchase of this software was a business move, in the hopes of making a quick profit, they haven't done anything to improve the app or justify the cost. And now that they know it has incompatibilities instead of fixing it they add in code to tell the user its crashing for security reasons LMAO, u would think these guys would at least be good business men considering it looks like thats all their motivation. but there not even doing that part right. The priority needs to be the product then the business aspect falls into place, you don't approach this the other way around (Version 2.0.2) | |

RIP0FF Agreed, except for the fact that it is, to the best of my knowledge, the only program of this kind that works directly from the menubar. Now, charging $20 for it is ludicrous. (Version 2.0.2) | |
