Because it’s much less likely that some a**hole is going to come in to your office and steal your ShipIt awards. So far I’ve recieved eight product boxes, and four of them have been stolen out of my office. Three of them (VB 6.0, VB 2002 and VB 2003) disappeared out of my office sometime in the last week. What possible benefit anyone could get from old product boxes is beyond me…
