I've upgraded my Parallels a few times. If you don't get that, you have a relatively limited window for downloading the installer and no recovery option once that window passes. It's basically insurance and IIRC you can just uncheck the box before finalizing your purchase.

Why? A "online delivery fee" included. The example this morning: Parallels. I have ignored for a while the "opportunity" to upgrade it. I got a notice for an offer I thought was reasonable price ($30), so I said "Sure, why not?" I followed the link, and was on the "checkout" screen on their site. There it was: Extended Download Service: $6.99. I muttered a few expletives, and said "F this." I took the time to look for some feedback mechanism to tell them what I think of this, but the only option seemed to join their forum. I didn't bother. Opinions?
