And along those lines, how much will the update cost?

We're interested, but one thing that really gets under my skin (regardless
of who the vendor is) is when a company has a "60 day" update policy, and
then slips the ship date a couple of times -- with the result being that we
don't get the update that we would otherwise receive at no charge.....
