Seriously bad mojo, MS. Now you have to pay $80 to get large fonts or high-contrast? Even for folks without bad eyes the high contrast is almost necessary for outdoor use. Really, this was a bad decision. Removal of all of the other features was okay, but this was bad. I actually now think removing the three app limit was a bad thing since it made this a viable version.

Any idea what the price difference is for high volume OEM's between this and Home Premium? $10? Uugh!
