So, basically Microsoft's upgrade policy agreement completely ignores the reality of application development, and their customers....in this case, application developers.

Why am I not surprised?

>>Because I just looked at the EULA for .NET and guess what, it says the same thing:
>
>7. UPGRADES. To use a Product identified as an upgrade, you must first be licensed for the product identified by Microsoft as eligible for the upgrade. After upgrading, you may no longer use the product that formed the basis for your upgrade eligibility.You may use the resulting upgraded product only in accordance with the terms of this EULA. If the Product is an upgrade of a component of a package of software programs that you licensed as a single product, the Product may be used and transferred only as part of that single product package and may not be separated for use by more than one end user.
