I wouldn't call these prices megabucks, certainly not in the adds business.
I do suppose it's a way of getting a few bucks back from the 
freeloaders.....you know:

Get your ad-free download version at mandrake club or buy a boxed version.
Anyway no-one can stop you clearing the adds out after the install....it's 
GPL:o)
I think it's acceptable, only that they're way too cheap.
