Hey all. Just abit frustrated.. as you see in most of your orders, it talks about
Paint shop pro standard
Corel word etc

I was kinda miffed when I saw BOTH of these just be a 60 day trial thing or so.. kinda lame no? I mean I know they bundle alot of junk, but the way they say on what you get doesnt always mention the word trial so you assume you get the real deal etc..

How many of you feel gipped in the way with bundled programs? Just wondering what they gave us that IS real.. most of it I uninstalled since it wasnt even the full thing..

Wouldve loved a real music match too.. but oh well heh. Small vent. =p

Cept Norton or Macaffe you have a "custom" choice to buy it with subscription. I dont to save money.

But the other apps said nothing about that.
