Remove the 150 day restriction for the web edition. make it time
unlimited as the ISE WebPack.

This is the main factor for me to use Xilinx instead of Altera. And I
am sure that for many more too.

It is prefereable that it does not work for high-end FPGAs, CPLDs or
Structured ASICs, and only for low/mid range devices, but works
unlimited in time.

Please couple Quartus with the free version of ModelSim or whatever
other Simulator that supports TestBench. A prof. in my Alma Mater
insisted on using MaxPlus II and Quartus, and I hated it so much
because the simulator that comes with it doesn't support testbench at
all. Not to mention its clumsy user interface. I would just use Altera
software for synthesis, map and PR, but for the simulation I prefer
ModelSim or any other dedicated Simulator.

Problem ?
Just request another license like the rest of us.
If your lucky you get it same day and keep going as before
(even though last time it took a couple of days)

I wish Altera would do service packs, instead of having to
download the whole thing for the web edtion.

But thats my biggest annoyance with xilinx webpack and ise.
The stupidly sized service packs.
Download 200MB one day then few days later need to
download another 300MB for the service pack.
