Although there appear to be some problems between Norton Utilities and 
System 7.0, I wouldn't guess that to be the reason for the sale. Instead, I 
expect they are doing this to clear inventory (i.e., an update is coming), 
or just to thank users of other Symantec products, not including Norton 
Utilities.
