IncrediBuild .NET release delayed to March 2003

IncrediBuild.NET free upgrade offer extended
We've decided to further extend our option for a free upgrade to IncrediBuild.NET. Users that purchase IncrediBuild will be entitled to a free upgrade to IncrediBuild .NET. After this offer expires, IncrediBuild .NET will be available to IncrediBuild MSVC 6.0 users for a small upgrade fee.

As Always, we welcome your feedback. Please submit your comments and suggestion through our online feedback form.
