Mike Jipping raised the question "since owners of OpenWindows 1.0
automagically received updates to 1.0.1, would they also receive 
an OpenWindows 2.0 upgrade for free?" Here is the definitive answer
to that question:

All owners of OpenWindows 1.0 or OpenWindows 1.0.1 who actually 
*purchased* either version of OpenWindows will be upgraded to 
OpenWindows Version 2.

So, an owner who purchased Openwindows 1.0, and was upgraded 
"automagically" to OpenWindows 1.0.1, will be upgraded to 
OpenWindows V2.

And any owner who purchased OpenWindows 1.0.1 will be upgraded 
to OpenWindows V2.

The same process has been used for this "automagic" upgrade as
was used for the upgrade from OpenWindows 1.0 to OpenWindows 1.0.1.
Shipment of the many thousands of upgrades began on July 25, and 
will be completed by mid September.  

I hope this ends all confusion about Sun's policy on upgrading
customers to OpenWindows Version 2.
