The download edition is "free of charge". That's an important point. Even when it is distributed with the commercial CD in power packs, the free sotware CD's are not what makes the price. You can get them for free (as beer) and you can get them for free associated with another, non free (as a beer and speech) product. And if you join Mandrake's club, you pay for the future (your payroll, pals), not for what already exists.
