	I wonder if it's the full versions... 10.4 had demo versions of some of the products. As demos I found them to be pretty useless. What's more I find demands for money for things I probably won't use to be quite offensive. There are a number of pretty good free products out there. Nowhere near the number of items as there is for Linux mind you but there are some good ones out there. I mean, why use M$ Word when there is NeoOffice... I've installed the Perian Codec package, Gimp (I think it wants a new version), Simply Burns, VLC, NeoOffice (naturally) and a couple of others. Anyhow... Since I don't use iLife and iWork (same as most people I think) there is no need to pay for it.
