Michael,
Just saw your message. I appreciate the response. Certainly no need to apologies that you aren't on the job 24 hours a day. You shouldn't be :) Sorry to hassle - I'm just in a situation where I need to make a decision with some urgency.
Thanks for the info.

Well this answers MY question. :) I just bought MoI about 2 weeks ago and was concerned because the beta DL page suggests that v3 users will need to purchase an upgrade to v4. Having just laid out $295, I wasn't so keen on having to pay even more a month or so later. Good to know. Thanks.

Hi cookepuss,
re:

The way it works is that yes normally if you purchase version X you would need to purchase an upgrade for version X+1 , but there is a "grace period" time where if a new version comes out soon after your purchase you will get a free upgrade.
The "grace period" for getting a free v4 upgrade is going to extend back a lot longer then it normally would since v4 has been in development for an unusually long time (v4 is a major rewrite from v3 to move to 64-bit and to a cross platform base with a native Mac build). So the way it will work is any v3 purchase going back about 2 years ago will get a free v4 upgrade but further back than that will need to purchase an upgrade.
The normal grace period time would be more like a few months.
- Michael
