Well, Microsoft finally updated its FORTRAN to full ANSI-77 among
other improvements.

After waiting years for this to happen through several updates of
$75 each, Microsoft nows want to charge $150 for this update!  This
is about 50% of the original price of the package.

When a company charges premium prices on its software and on its
updates, I feel betrayed!

It is not a good way keep customers!
