$250 for a version with updates past a year? yikes

For a lifetime license incl updates forever that seems quite reasonable to me. It's a bit over a year of Netflix.

In fact, given that it includes perpetual priority support (within a business day!) I expect the author's gonna change that soon, once he gets one of those infinitely demanding customers and realizes what a terrible mistake he made (inf support for a one-time payment, oops!). So better bite while it's hot!

The €40 option for one year of updates is a lot more economical and is still a perpetual license for the software itself.

Imagine paying for a file browser. This is why windows will always win. They have the most docile userbase ever. They'd rather pay 250 bucks for a file picker than to change OS.

Hey Total Commander is free/shareware (if you can live with the nag screen) and superior to anything on any OS

		My solution to the nag screen was that I never turned off my computer, just put it to sleep, so Total Commander was always running. Interestingly, TC was one of the few software that I considered paying for, but in the end I didn't because they asked for too much information at the time. Not long later I switched to Linux, and I couldn't use TC there.

If you use software that is $10k/year and Windows only, a few bucks here and there to improve your quality of life is a rounding error

Now I'm shocked by the cost of Netflix.

		The monthly subscriptions always sound cheaper than they are
