Of course this will be free for Vista Ultimate suckers, er... I mean, users

My cynicism has gotten the best of me. This pack looks to be nothing more than an upgrade from Home Basic to Home Premium with 4 inexpensive games thrown in.

LAME-O. Just as lame as charging iPod Touch users for new apps that can be downloaded onto the iPhone for free.

WASTE-O-CONSUMER time and money.

Yep. Apple kinda sucks on that deal.

The only reasonable explanation is if there is a license involved and they have no choice. If this is the case, they should have said so and everyone would not be so upset about it.
