It would be a different story if I ran a business though.

oh come on. theftware is not cool. plus it's often stuffed with trojans, doesn't work right, etc. i-movie is more than enough for civilians. the new windows media does an ok job.

i originally bought avid xpress dv for $300 on sale-- upgraded to xpress pro (value $1K) for $500, and now i'm getting an offer to updgrade to avid media composer for another $500. best purchase ever.

yes i make money off this but in my experience warez are not "free"-- they can cause you trouble and waste your time.

in other words-- people who don't want to be serious don't need good software, and people who want to be serious are better off paying for the good stuff.
