This is why you DO NOT buy their Consumer Grade stuff - you ONLY have the option of recovery partitions - their business class hardware you have the $3.00 option (that's all it is) for each of the 3 CD's - Windows, Drivers, and their OEM'd apps like Roxio and PowerDVD.

Our userbase license cost us like $500.00 and some piddly amount for the support renewal ...

And hey look, they have an Education Edition too. http://www.ilient.com/education-edition.htm

And the best part? You don't have to do the bugfixes. Why you wanted to reinvent the wheel.....

I did the homework for you....

A Spitfire Mk1 cost £12604 in 1939 according to Wikipedia. To translate that to dollars, the GBP bought 3.99 USD back in 1939 so it would have cost $50,289.96 in 1939 USDs ... using an inflation calculator $50,289.96 in 1939 dollars translates to $818,496.23 in 2011 USDs. The F22 costs 150 million per unit so you could have purchased 183 1/4 Spit Mk1's for the cost of 1 F22 - 183 is just under 1% of the entire production run of Spitfires made during the war.

Doing a quick Google Search, a Spitfire Squadron around Battle Of Britian consisted of 20 aircraft and 2 reserves so you could effectively get just over 8.25 squadrons of Spitfire Mk1's using adjusting for inflation for the cost of one single F22.

(Dammit, an AC also did the homework too ... learn to use an inflation calc AC!)
 

Have Oracle buy Facebook, and call OraBook ... or Oracle, since Larry's still in charge. Pair those two up, and then we can have a company that EVERYONE hates.

Glad they do such great QA work, since like nobody uses FireFox.....
