Ha.  You BUY another release of software with BRAND NEW bugs and a warranty
that claims that, at best, you have purchased another bag of rust-covered
plastic which might or might not have varying domains of magnetization,
returnable in 90 days if and only if the plastic isn't black.

The attitude of "You wanted it to WORK?  That costs EXTRA!" is probably the
second-place security hole after simple carelessness.
