I did now.

I really like French spacing but I don't think it's good to edit other 
people's typing in this case.  Besides it's not that important.

"now" is in fact "5 years from now".  Or did you mean something else?
Added "in":
What is better, to receive 10$ annually starting in 5 years from now or
5$ annually starting from this year?

expanded to 
* Maintenance 
  = (Support + Unhappiness_Compensation) * Operation_Time
