[DUG] Who is moving up to D2006?

[Robert martin]

Hi

Also Just looking at the site and pricing.

We would be upgrading from Delphi 6 to 2005 Professional.  When I choose 
the option I am told that Software Assurance has been added to my order 
but can be removed (it is then not added to my order !). 

If I select D2005 to D2006 and it is added to my order this time.  It 
costs almost the same as the product itself and gives me the following...

With Software Assurance you will receive:

# All software upgrades for one year
# Three phone support incidents for one year

(Price based on current list price of software upgrades and individual 
incidents.)



I assume it doesn't mean service packs and bug fixes when it says 'All 
software upgrades' as these would be free anyway?  If I am correct and 
it is only for new releases and the Development cycle is about 18mths, 
than $405 (on a $541 purchase) )is a lot of money to pay for 3 phone 
support incidents within one year.

Am I missing something?
