I heartily agree about the price, and the reason given in the article I 
read makes sense: the more these apps are integrated, the more they 
each require the correct versions of the other apps, so bundling them 
as a single unit really does make sense.

A few years ago I wouldn't have agreed that they were worth $50, but 
for the most recent set of updates, the price really is right on.
