With this program it's hard to tell who the joke is on. But rest assured it's the user with a mess in their laps. Just today the good folks at Coffee Cup sent a message letting me know they had a Free download of their great and wonderful new image view-o-matic. It slices, it dices, it even makes julian potatoes. It does it all. Being a good little reviewer I started the download. However, on the way to the download page I noticed a "Note:" on their page. It should have read "Warning:". That "Note" was as following:
Well, three or four clicks later (no direct link apparently they don't want to scare you too too much with easy access to the bad news) I arrive at the FAQ for the Coffee Cup Viewer. Fifty percent of the FAQ is devoted to a major problem they are about to inflict upon your computer.
Here is what I wrote back to their company:
Why they have not rewritten the software is beyond me. There are enough people complaining that they now put a warning on the download page. I for one am tired of the gross arrogance of company that decide to re-assign my file associations to steal them away from current programs to theirs. This is arrogant, pushy, and more than a little discourteous. It is just down-right not nice and I wish companies would stop it. Unfortunately this is another one of those "customer-beware" type of deals. |
