That thought had crossed my mind.

And its always interesting to me that you can buy the product directly from 
them on their website, often even being able to download it directly, 
usually for the full regular suggested list price. OR you can go to a 
regular retail store and buy it for about HALF or a third of that. Or you 
can go to E-Bay and buy it for about a tenth of the regular 
price.....Shouldn't it be CHEAPER if you buy it directly from the 
manufacturer? And shouldn't a UPGRADE from a previous version be cheaper 
than buying a new copy. Better stop or I'll be ranting shortly......
