Here's something I don't understand: Why all the hate for the OEM kits?
I prefer buying retail box equipment as much as anyone else; but if there's a good software bundle in an Original Equipment Manufacturer package, I can save some real money.

What's to hate?

1. Nice copycat!
Not everyone can pull off an obscure reference copycat. I bow to your genius. :P

2. And you have to wonder why I'm single?

I am honored by your appreciation of my arcane talent. :D

3. Because they always add a bunch of bundled crap that I don't want.
And it's usually the half-assed crappy version. Photoshop LT? Bullplop. Might as well use free crap you get off the internet.

4. Well done! I get it!
And I'm single too! Drat! This must be forbidden knowledge or something.
