We just learned this this month. We bought 1.0 and automagically received 1.0.1. So, just for fun, I called and double-checked with Sun if we were slated for 2.0. Well, turns out that between 1.0.1 and 2.0, the distribution is now a maintenance item. So, unless you have OW under maintenance contract, you have to buy it. Call your favorite sales critter soon!
