1. We has to put out this version due to very tight time schedule: WalMart
doesn't want any new products on the shelves from 1st of november,
until mid january.
Fortunately the download version does not have this limitation and
holds the updates to 2.0, that are also available in download for
retail customers.
2. You had bad experience with it because you apparently purchased the
"beginner" version that prices $25. We have removed plenty of "expert"
things in it and that's what pissed you off, that's normal. Wasn't
there the "PowerPack Deluxe" also available on sales?
