I don't think that's what Herb Sutter said in his ACCU keynote, which
is where I'm pretty sure Guido got his information at the start of
this thread (he was there too and the email appeared soon after). If
I remember right, he said that 2005 was free, forever, and they'd
think about later versions. I may be misremembering, and I certainly
haven't read any official stuff from Microsoft...
