A ZDnet aticle "Don't buy software without support" seems relevant to
this thread.

http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/comment/0,5859,2693252,00.html

" When you buy software, you should get support and documentation
" for the price you pay. Period.
"
" Once upon a time no vendor would think of releasing a product
" without at least an initial period of free support and two or
" three manuals. Often support was available at a toll-free number.
" Many companies, to their credit, still offer free support.
" Macromedia, for example, ... But other vendors have turned
" support and documentation into profit centers at the expense
" of their customers.

Reader feedback is invited, might be worth watching.
