    That's a typo, it's supposed to say $699.00.

    Linux users aren't going to be happy unless it's free (speech) and free (beer).
    You underestimate us. We'll still complain about it being a ripoff of commercial software, whine about the GUI toolkit used, complain about how bloated and slow the software is, insinuate that it's a tricky ploy to gather personal information, demand that the company provide free phone support, and then run off and create a dozen sourceforge projects to "clone" the program.
