	Is it better for them to spend money and resources fixing the old
product, or is it better to incorporate those fixes into the new
product?  If you only have enough resources to do one or the other, 
I would submit that it is better to get the new release out.  Besides,
they really can't be competitive if they don't have the new version
out -- and they won't stay long in business.  Something that would
not be good for us -- the customers.
