About MS benevolently selling you upgrades at reduced cost...
When Word 6.0 for Mac came out, it was a DOG (slow to load, crashed a lot), and most people I knew opted to go back to previous version 5.1a...so many people opted for this, in fact, that MS saw an opportunity, and for awhile you could actually shell out a benevolently small sum to buy the downgrade to version 6.0! Now, how many people do you think were buying it again?
