The update policy of Microsoft for its flight simulator program is just
terrible.  The list price for the new version is $49.95.  You can also get 
it by sending your old version with the manual + $30.00 (for a total of
about $32.00).

The mail order price for the new one varies from $30 to $35 (see the ads in
PCWorld, for example).  If you buy it this way you end up with two versions,
one of which you can legally sell or give as a present to a friend.

Microsoft, how can you call it an "update".
