You've just made my point - it is worth something (and thus not free) because the amount of time and effort that is needed to create the normalization data source is not small.
My point was that if anyone did this for free, I wouldn't trust it as someone else said. There simply is far too much work to be done for it to be accurate and correct for any free product to be able to deliver anything of quality.

I have a hard time subscribing to the thought that paying for something makes it trustworthy. I've personally seen 6 figure software products not get normalization right.

I'm wondering if there is a reference page anyone is aware of so I can view only Microsoft licensed products. It's quite tiresome filtering out the queries to exclude all of the 'free' stuff. Please let me know if anyone is aware of where I might be able to find something like this.
