It's not at all about 'the money' it's about who's really still running 
i 6.1. and getting the most numbers of folks to the current release. 
With this feature you have to WANT or NEED to run 6.1 because it's about 
$1000.  If you don't want or need it you'll go to 7.1, save the $1000 
and IBM will know you're not running 6.1 because you cannot.
