Hi Charles, That is true. ESP's handling of pre-orders is definitly not normal. My new pre-order program for 2008 is based on Microsoft's pre-order polacy. Where by if you pre-order a product or have a subscription with them you can get test releases and full product upgrades for a discount off the actual price of the final release. Actually, now that I think of it Microsoft's polacy is not all that much different than the Jaws SMA. An SMA is nothing more than the option to pre-order a certain quantity of products or upgrades at a reasonable discount. If three upgrades cost $300 and you buy the SMA you may get those upgrades for $150 which is half off the price. The only difference is you may have to wait for months or years to cash in those discounts. Pre-ordering is usually not a bad thing. I just don't think James North was a very good business man. He was a great programmer, but bad at following industry trends on handling pre-orders and things like that.
