I didn't see any point at all. At least they properly upgraded things this time, though it does not really excite me. Nice how they baited tons of people over the summer with the cheap buy in to 5 then smacked'em with the temptation of an upgrade when that sold out ;) </div><div><br></div><div>I think getting rid of those apps is ridiculous, they were all good, also piano. I mean they don't have to update them too much just keep'em kosher with OS updates. I don't see the point of dropping stuff when you are not adding back? Unless they think kontakt and absynth make up for them with the updates.</div><div><br></div><div>The current price is about what I think this bundle should cost, I feel I paid too much back in the day.</div></body></html>
