I’m currently using MovableType v2.6x, which is the last free version. I don’t plan on upgrading. Why? Because none of the features I thought were important have been included in the new “developers” edition. Also, based on the way the licensing fiasco played out and some of the comments made regarding the future of MT as a separate product line, I was no longer comfortable with paying money. So, I too have started evaluating WordPress. When they finally add the multiple-blog single-management-interface feature, I’ll donate.
Thank you for pointing out, in a public forum, that the main cheerleaders for MT have a vested interest in maintaining MT’s dominance of the blog market. I noticed that, but I didn’t feel comfortable bringing that up in the MT forums.

Personally, I think they’re positioning their TypeKey system as their main product line for the future. And, considering the blog market, that’s a pretty good idea. But, TypeKey just doesn’t work for me.
Again, thank you for your contributions.
Jim Hoffman aka The Network Geek.
P.S. I’m against offshoring, to any country, too!

I did ask Anil before forwarding. (Actually, I asked him to write something I could forward.) I didn’t expect it to end up on the web, but I think it’s fine now that the phone number is removed.

Geez, looked like an open letter to me! Besides it was a good read. And harmless. I can remove it if you want.

Hmm… my comment didn’t post. Maybe I have to log in.

Hey man! That was a private email. Anyway… maybe you’re trying to get me back for poking fun at you in the past.

Hey! That was a personal email. ;-p

Ah well, I guess you’re just getting me back for poking fun at you in the past..

Anyway, glad you decided to start blogging. Nice blog.
