You caught me Josh...I am "So Silly" for wanting to be rewarded for my
input.
I am not sure why why in the world we would expect to be able to swap one
version of windows for another, its not like we swapped one version of
windows for another in the past...Now have we Josh?
Perhaps it's a way for Microsoft to recognize the assistance we testers have
given the Software giant in creating their New "Jewel" of an operating
system.
Not all of us can afford the Technet or MSDN subscription prices.
Besides, would it be coming out of your pocket Josh?
No, I didn't think so.
Maybe you were just "Joshing" Us!
