I was about to make that point too.

Doesn't matter how much they rationalize it, they are misrepresenting the
product, and that WILL hurt them in the end in terms of credibility.

Other manufacturers have no trouble selling preview and pre-release versiosn
- there would be nothing wrong with properly labeling the package, and
informing users they can use the upgdate feature.

Yep, just like Microsoft...
