They should be concentrating on making it work! Sucks that it costs over $300 for a full version. I just upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS X and it only cost me $100 and it works! I don't understand why all the different versions of Windows, home, business, pro. Just make one and be done then sell it at a decent price.
