A while ago I posted a reply to a Bob Sutterfield query.  He wondered
that since owners of OpenWindows 1.0 automagically received updates to
1.0.1, would they also receive an OpenWindows 2.0 upgrade for free?

I answered a definite NO!

Since then, my Sun technical representative corrected me and said YES --
such updates are automatic...and free!  So I called our Customer Support
Representative and she said NO -- the policy has changed.  So I called
the West Coast Tape Distribution Center and got two NOs -- the policy has
changed and you must buy the new version.

Suffice it to say Sun is confused on this.  Has anyone actually received
an automatic upgrade?

Just CYAing...
