In the case of upgrading WM2003 to WM2003, PEOPLE SHOULD BE FLAMING WITH ANGER with Dell's actions- it's like Dell withholding the Win XP SP1 and SP 2 update for your Dell PC (And yes, you CANNOT just update your XP to SP1 and SP2 since Microsoft has given SP1 and SP2 to Dell to customize it for your Dell Dimension). NOTE: It's a comparision. We get XP Sp1 and SP2 since computers were standardised, unlike the PocketPCs of today.
But on the issue of WM 2005, that is a DIFFERENT ISSUE. If Microsoft charges Dell for the upgrade, then my bet is that there wont b a FREE UPGRADE (or none at all, considering Dell's track record)
