Why is Stylus Studio® offering a special upgrade price?

Like most good software development teams, we listen to our customers. Since we're blessed with acute hearing, we're able to listen to our competitors' customers, too. Lately, we're hearing from a lot of frustrated XML developers looking for an affordable, professional grade, all-in-one XML IDE . So, we created this special upgrade program to introduce you to the benefits of Stylus Studio®. (Well, as long as we're being completely candid, we want to sell software, too.) Send us a proof of purchase for a commercial XML editor, your email address, and we will give you a coupon for $100(USD) off already low prices on single-user license for Stylus Studio® XML Professional Suite, Release 2, or Stylus Studio® 2008 XML Enterprise Suite, Release 2. That's quite a deal, if we do say so ourselves.
