I get such a kick out of this forum. Most of the time it only takes a few messages in the thread before people start snapping at each other over their choice of [O/S | Software | Computer]. Talk about ridiculous!

Just pick which one you want and pay what it costs to get it! If you want the Free one, then enjoy it!
