Lot of people, that use computers, never use the Development tools. These tools just take up space, and why not offer a distribution that excludes these, for the parties in question, for a few bucks less.
IIRC, many of those packages on Pro, are optional. They don't get installed, if you don't select them. So, those packages are only using space on the CDs or DVD.
It's not the cost of the CD/DVD media that they are saving - it's the cost of building all the packages, making sure they interoperate correctly, writing the documentation, etc. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
