just bought 4 last month (used virtualbox for a lot of stuff, but had some proprietary vmware machines that were a real pain to try to run in vbox). $49 for purchase of vmware fusion 4. Fine. But now... I can upgrade to fusion 5 for $49... or just buy fusion 5 for... $49. Annoying. Yes, it's all in my head, but an upgrade price the same as a 'regular' price leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
What if I purchased VMware Fusion 4 before July 25th, 2012?
Customers who purchased VMware Fusion 4 before July 25th,
2012 can upgrade to VMware Fusion 5 Professional for 50%
off the regular price or buy a full license of VMware
Fusion 5.

If you bought after July 25, then the upgrade is free.

dbl checked - purchased june 18. :(
Would still have liked to see a discount price for upgraders, vs full price.
I found this on their page:
URL? I can't find that. Thanks.
