Founders get the on-Rev hosting and on-Rev Server Scripting features for 
life. They are getting the alpha version now -- which is very usable -- and 
of course later pre-release and production versions. They will also have the 
chance to be the first in line for the other news stuff we're building.

People with on-Rev in other words will always have the latest and greatest 
toys ahead of everyone else. While some components of the on-Rev technology 
will be making its way into other editions of our server engine, some things 
will only be possible for on-Rev users, because we have complete control 
over the entire server environment.

There is nothing to renew and your on-Rev hosting account is totally 
separate from your desktop license. You do not need one to use the other. 
The one-time $499 "Founders" initiation fee is the only thing you pay... 
then you get the hosting service with on-Rev scripting technologies for 
life.
