mt3 is up and away (and overpriced!) ::

I see the new movabletype 3.0 is up on the website... and most definitely not free. Kind of a little disappointed. Of course, as long as I don't upgrade I'm fine. On the purchase page it shows that mt3 can be downloaded for free, but one only gets one author and three weblogs. The other limitations basically spell out that anyone who sticks with the free version will be banished to the lowest circles of hell. Now, I understand that Ben and Mena need to make some money to support themselves and the other employees, but I can't say that I'm not pretty upset and, well, disappointed. Looking at the list of what is included with a paid license, I have to chuckle at the 4th one listed: Generous limits on weblogs and authors. Hmm... somehow me thinks that's not really the case. Throwing down $99.95 (or $69.95 during this "introductory" time) will only get a licensee 3 authors and 5 weblogs. For $100! For $150, one gets 6 authors and 8 weblogs. And the creme de la creme, the high-end commercial license, gets 20 users and 15 weblogs for $699.95. Start saving your pennies kids or else it's time to switch back to Blogger.
