The cost of a large pipe to the internet is expensive but if you provide a site available to people that bought the product the cost gets spread amongst the purchasers and it then becomes a cost effective means of getting the product to your customers. And it also eliminates some of the distribution costs. It also provides a effective place to put update media, such as the XFS install problem we had with 9.1. The fixed install CD/DVD could have been put on the purchase download site.
When 9.2 is first released it would take a 'huge' pipe or snail mail will be quicker. I ordered 9.1 Pro upgrade, it was back ordered two or three weeks and then they sent me the full set, with apologies for the delay. Any bandwidth will be swamped the first few weeks. Rich
