    GEORGESLEGRAND  Already in the Mac Classic times, I found that Textures was outrageously expensive for something build upon the free TeX engine. The interface was OK, but certainly not worth the $600-$700 it cost at the time, so I settled for the not-so-user-friendly but free UNIX alternatives.

    Now they want to charge $100 for a beta OS X version that you cannot even try before buying, when there are truly excellent free alternatives (e.g. the award-winning TeXShop). They must be totally out of their mind.

    ZIMMERLEUT  1) This is not even a demo, if you don't consider only showing a window asking for your serial to be a demo. And no, there is no serial included in the downloaded package.

    2) Why would I want to shell out 100 bucks if there's MacTeX out there for free, with a great editor such as TeXShop (or others)? Especially if I can't test it?

    ZIMMERLEUT  OK, consider my first point deleted; it's been tagged commercial.

    Still, I'd like to know the benefits over free alternatives.
