I've found the actual text in Technet!

"NOTE: In special cases, charges that are normally incurred for support
calls may
be canceled, if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific
update will resolve your problem. Normal support costs will apply to
additional
support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in
question."
