It is generally good business sense to offer bug fixes as free upgrades *BUT* to require it as part of the sales agreement is.....well....odd. Of course I do not have your view on life so I prefer to go one day at a time. Without being unkind to anyone, are we going to stop using Windows because their bug fixes are called by different names which we have to buy at full value? To wit: Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows 2000 Windows XP Windows ....... :-) Tongue firmly in cheek. Later.
