That paragraph only pertains to Volume Licensing customers. If you 
purchase under the Open License or Select License agreements, then 
you would qualify for that upgrade.

While another poster has suggested that I am a 'shill', do understand 
that I am not a fan of Microsoft's but merely someone who prefers to 
know the facts as well as someone who chooses to respect other's 
property. While I may not choose to purchase from those that I 
dislike, I would never steal from them with the justification that 
they have an unfair advantage.
