The same thing is true with Mac OS.
Thanks for the answer. I wonder if I could go through the code and get it to try. I know I'd be on my own for support then and couldn't install updates, but it can't be any less of a hassle than having to sideload everything until I get my income tax return check in April and am finally able to upgrade.
