"Special Pricing"

Do you really believe that Autodesk will never have a quarter end that requires a little extra oomph in the sales cycle?
Or a year-end where they're scrambling to catch up to previously estimated budget goals?

I think special pricing from Autodesk will be approximately as common as sales at a department store. I could be wrong, of course, but letting "special pricing" affect the timing of when you make a decision, means that you're dancing to their music, not your own.
