There is indeed a new version of MS-Windows in the works.  Current MS
expectations is to announce/ship product in June.  MS plans to offer
updates at $50.00/copy, with free updates to all whom purchase the
current version within 90 days of the new version's announcment.

As with all new products, and particularly those which have not been
"officially" announced, everything is subject to change.
