[DUG] Delphi 2006 snippet

[Kyley Harris]

It is an extra fee that states that you will get the bug fixes in new
versions without paying upgrades. so it means you are paying for an
upgrade before you want or expect it.

Consumer affairs could have a field day with that. 

Advertise a product for a fee and you are supposed to get that product
Fit for purpose. The Software assurance scheme when you think about it
is actually a promise buy the vendor that you will not get what is
advertised.
