SolidWorks 2010 Prepares For Takeoff

2009 is the first year out of 12 that I have defaulted on the Subscription payment to SW
I applaud the advancements but I feel strongly about a software vendor that got me on board because they sold a PC-based 3D CAD system which one-man users such as myself were waiting for, but now are playing with the 'big boys' and still expecting me to fund the salaries of all the VAR's and programmers.
I want a low-cost version of the basic functions that my son and other yougsters can buy and use without breaking the bank. Including a 'greenness' program that tells me to use aluminum rather than magnesium is just hype. Come on Solidworks, I supported you for 12 years, now give me a break and reduce my subscription fee as a reward for long service and also something that I can use economically when I retire.

I am in a very similar frame of mind,  I love Solidworks.  I have faithfully renewed my maintenance since the product was introduced.  I could care less about a lot of the features that have bloated this product over the years.  This new environmental package takes the cake though.  Please offer a stripped down package without the bells and whistles we dont ring or blow.  I did not renew my maintenance for the 2010 year.  My business is needing to trim the fat and a bloated Maintenance subscription was one of the casualties.
