If I were WebIS or SBSH I would be very concerned about this. These companies have multiple popular applications and frequently release minor updates for fixes or new features.

Come to think of it, as a customer or said companies, I'm very concerned. Will this discourage their updates? I don't know what their revenue streams look like but part of me would think that its a relatively small impact.

Perhaps Microsoft would modify their fee model to account for free updates versus paid upgrades.
