- No specific info, but perhaps MS & PN figured that if they can sucker
- so many people into paying $$ for long overdue fixes, minor upgrades,
- and renaming the UAE; that they could possibly do the same with some
- of their other products. For a +0.1 level upgrade they got tons of
- moola, so now they want to see how many long standing customers will
- fork out more for a +0.01 upgrade (like they plan on there being a
- MS-DOS 5.99)? ;-) rc
