My favorite two sentences from the announcement are these with a little commentary from me: 

"Switching to a tiered model will allow us to improve our processes and serve customers better by providing them with increased transparency, more accurate quotes, and more timely notice for renewals."

 Increased transparency?  Well, I suppose you can spin it that way.  Improve our processes, more accurate quotes and more timely notice for renewals?  Seriously???  If I am a customer with multiple tier levels for users, which calculation is easier and quicker to provide with very little room for error?

"For a few, the combined impact of the increase to list price and change in our pricing model may result in a slightly higher effective rate increase, but we are committed to honoring our commitment to capping any annual effective increase on Sage 100cloud to no more than 10%."

 Translation: Our legal counsel advised us not to violate the legal terms of the EULA.  So, in the names of Commitment and Honor, we will comply.  But don't you worry, we have instructed counsel to rewrite the EULA to remove that horribly restrictive language and will replace the existing one in the very near future.

 Do y'all hear that?  The faint cries of the cash cow as it continues to suffer the agonizing torture of a master determined to squeeze every last dollar out of its seemingly everlasting journey into the abyss.
