in Serving Up Hot and Spicy SolidWorks Subscription Service on SolidSmack
"paying $1295/seat for a new version of SolidWorks each year" ... IS bad. It is really bad. it's a mass product for heaven's sake. Plus: get the price down and there will be much more interest in the software. Get down to $300-500 and there will be 3-4 times the users and the revenue goes up with that also.

Josh M yep Rob, I'd agree. I could afford SolidWorks for myself right now if it
were under $1000. $600 with $300 upgrades is not unreasonable at all. I
don't think it devalues the program either. Like I've commented before, if
Adobe can do it with programs like Acrobat and Photoshop, I don't see why
SolidWorks can not do something similar. The CAD market isn't as big, and it
would probably mean, paying for other programs like PhotoView360 and
CircuitWoorks that are added to the Premium version, but really, that's
alright with me.
