Version 10.1 appears to be what is listed at that web site.

At that website, I didn't see anything for 80 euro, except that there was an el-
cheapo version ("Discovery") selling for about 45 euro ($69 CDN).

The SOHO-enabled version called "Powerpack" is 199 euro (that's $309 CDN -- 
ouch!). Threre is nothing described on that page that would be described as 
overtly proprietary (although there maybe a SUN Java compiler or something). It 
just has OpenOffice, and Mozilla as the browser. But what I mean to suggest is 
that there are no full commercial applications that are listed on the web page.
