I don't blame PF1 for charging money. It's wonderful that Linux is
successfully sold - it means people need it and love it. But just charge a
price almost twice as much as I get from, say, lsl.com - I fear, it's
unfair and bad. I understand, everybody wants money, but to earn money is
one thing, and to escalate price just because they can - it's another
thing. It would be very sad, if they would finally be disappointed with
their Linux sales just because they've put an inflated price tag on it.
And they would tell everyone "Linux doesn't sell", not "we failed to sell
popular product".

That's apart from the thought that putting a new product on market with
price tag double to the competitor's and giving no explanation why or
what's the difference, let alone mentioning the product in advertisement -
seems very strange marketing strategy as for me.
I'm not a businessman, though - maybe it's how it works nowdays.
