Years ago, Microsoft used to offer something called “TechNet”, where 
developers/professions could get access to a whole bunch of Microsoft 
software for development/testing/evaluation purposes, at very low cost.

They did away with all that. And of course there was a lot of grumbling, 
threats of divorce etc. But eventually the Microsoft fans got over it -- 
erased the whole miserable incident from their memory. And went back to 
loving Microsoft.

This is why the phrase “boiling the frog” keeps coming to mind ...
