If you look back through the message here, you'll probably find some
comments of mine asking why Microsoft would have to release new product
upgrades when the users have already paid for the upgrades.

From the article,

===
"We've paid 29 percent a year for three years, and for what?"
wrote one reader. "Where's Longhorn? Where's Office 12? This has to be
one of the biggest sucker jobs of all time, and they still have the gall to
tell us we need to sign up again so as not to lose the 'value' of our
investment. They can forget that. Who knows if they'll be any 'value' in
anything they ship the next three years either."

'Tis a shame.  I feel for that person.  I probably could have saved them
a lot of money if they only had listened to me.  On the positive side, it
is good to see that Microsoft continues to do to their current customers
what they did to me (as a business customer) years ago.
