What do you expect in the PC Wintel world? On which other platform would 
you pay $99 for partitioning programs which you'd use probably once or 
twice, $70 bucks for a deleting program that supposedly cleans and free

programs like Dogz for example. The moral is, on the Wintel market you 
can release the most absurd crap and still make money!
