Tell me how you really feel.
If Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop are now included applications, then
you win the argument. Since those are essentially the two applications that
I use, anything else included free is about as useful to me as a superduper

My AV is free.
My anti-spyware is free.
If Macs were popular enough, they'd have problems too. They're not
invulnerable. They're just popular enough to bother.
