If?! Their release cycle time is rapidly converging on 0, which makes a
nice contrast to their pricing, which is diverging toward infinity. 1995,
1998, 2000, 2001, ...
The only thing about the "software assurance" is that the system
requirements (which also seem to be diverging) for the next release will
be such that you'll need to purchase new workstations (complete with
windows tax) (and then new licenses) in order to meet them.
