Companies do have an upgrade cycle which is often (unfortunatly) driven by other external companies or suppliers (a vicious circle, really). One has to wonder whether the delay helps book a bit more revenue as it catches companies who's upgrade assurance licences expire before the delivery of the software. I know my firm has been stung with the Windows 2003 Server Release 2 not being included on our upgrade assurance.
"That's nothing. Outgassing, don't worry about it. Say, you seen that new BT-16?"
