I suspect though that if you all want GW to provide downloads, they will have to introduce copy protection, and I am sure there will be complaints about that if they do. So people have to decide I think do they want copy protection and the ability to download, or no copy protection and have to pay for CDs? Again, JAWS offers a complete download, but they have an activation system. Myself, I like WE the way it is, though I do wish we could download an image of our own CD. This could be done using a login method. But I certainly don't lose sleep over this.

The last time I checked it was $40 per media replacement package. I really don't think $20 is an out of the ordinary price or one that is so high to be a significant issue.
