Prove it started in 1991, as you claimed. Then admit this thread you created his since been debunked as the obvious BS it is, as well. Else, remain full of it, and reply with nothing but your tired, ineffective, personal attacks, being all you ever seem to have left.
Here's the link I posted earlier.
This is the first paragraph of the link. The first three words clue the year.
Microsoft last year began a transition to the "Select 6.0" software licensing program for Berkeley and other academic institutions. The prime feature of this program is the elimination of software upgrades, in favor of something Microsoft calls "Software Assurance." Under Software Assurance, you can pay about twice as much as the normal cost of a license, to buy the right to install any upgrades for the next two to three calendar years. (Software Assurance always expires on December 31st, so if you buy it late in the year, it's good for slightly more than two years, but if you buy it in January, it's good for almost three years).
I totally screwed up on the year. Should have been 2001, not 1991. Don't know why I had 1991 on the brain. Probably because of some maintennance I had done on my car the other day.
Unlike some folks, I admit my mistakes.
