I think this is adding to the confusion so it is important to try to make things clear.
u-BACCH stands for "universal BACCH filters" and is a no-tonal-distortion crosstalk cancellation technology that allows getting some level of crosstalk cancellation without individualized acoustic measurement. BACCH Labs has recently released u-BACCH
plugins for Windows and the Mac OS. Theoretica offers its own implementation of u-BACCH in its
BACCH4Mac Intro Product.
BACCH4Mac is a standalone audio processing app fro the Mac and NOT a plugin. It comes in 4 editions. The lowest cost one is called Intro and offers only u-BACCH filters. The higher editions (Audiophile, Audiophile+, and Pro) offer the more accurate c-BACCH (custom BACCH filters), which rely on individualized acoustic measurements using the in-ear BACCH-BM microphone.
We cannot speak for BACCH Labs, their plugins, their support or their terms for upgrade, but it is wrong to say that "u-BACCH is a dead end" since Theoretica's
BACCH4Mac Intro (which, again has only u-BACCH) is a very well supported product that is enjoyed by many (some of whom end up upgrading to the higher editions as per Theoretica's clearly stated upgrade policy).
Theoretica has no plans at the present to create any products for the Windows OS.
I hope the above makes things clear
