I think that some people are just trying to keep control.

Also, Millenium package looks like many more times the price for value, than
Rebel package. (Unless, of course, Shredder 5 will be demonstrably stronger than
any program in Rebel package (with same hardware), in which case it is
indespensible. Though even if so, maybe Fritz 7.00 0r others will be
demonstrably even stronger.)
