I haven't purchased commercial software in decades, so I'm not up on the

Why would anyone purchase software and then agree to wait 14 weeks for it to
be delivered? I can see that model for hardware, where material resources
are limited and a finite number of product is produced, but software?
What's the point?
For the 50% discount, I presume. If you wait 14 weeks, then buy, then
own, you pay full price.

By getting at least _some_ money in advance, they give themselves a
way to pay the bills.
Chris got it right I think! :)
Thank you,
