Anything more than that is a ripoff". BTW, Office 2007 does not cost $800.

i agree... no one is forcing anyone to buy anything... if you think the cost of a software or movie is unreasonable or you can't afford it, then don't buy it... just don't justify pirating because you think companies are "beating consumers over the head..."
