Amen to that.

But I can of course see their point: software package sells for $199. 
Just print the box, press the CD, and a manual. Sell it download-only 
for $169 and make even more money out of that.

The hardware box then goes for let's say $399 but requires far more
money to produce and implies (especially if you plan to sell within the
EU) far more hassles.

So why bother just because of a handfull of nuts who insist of having 
"real" hardware at their hands?
