MICROSOFT is following a well-trodden path with frequent costly upgrases.
Borland sent us an offer to get quattro pro in November for 99.95 which we
decided to buy.  In January, we got a follow-up for Quattro Pro 2, at 99.95; we
bought that one too.  (By the way, Quattro Pro is Borland's spreadsheet for the
PC.)  In early March, we got an offer for Quattro Pro 3.0 at (you guessed it!)
99.95.

However, when we called Borland to ask how often these "offers" would be made,
I found we qualified for a FREE upgrade, since we had purchased during a 7-week
"window of opportunity" (Gez, guys. How did we let that happen? Someone got it
for free!  :-)

Maybe, if you get lucky, Microsoft will have such a window?
