Not really. The intended market for the personal edition wouldn't know the other packages existed. You have clearly bought the wrong version. The users targeted by the personal edition are complete newcomers. I suspect you bought the personal because it was cheaper. Read up on usability studies. Almost everyone commenting on these matters say it's far better to have a selection of packages, with few if any duplicates for any given area of use. People who are more experienced can always download from the net and install themselves. Or why not buy the professional package?
OK, I accept your argument. Maybe I failed to see this from a newbie point of view. There are too many things I use on a daily basis that are missing in the Personal edition that I find it impossible to recommend it. But there might be users who are perfectly happy with it because it satisfies their needs. I would like to see some comments from those who are happy with the Personal edition, but I suspect that they don't subscribe to this list...
