not really surprising...
having been shopping for a barely used MBP over the past two weeks, i've noticed pretty much every unit has both MS office 2011 and CS6 preinstalled.
i'm not against a monthly fee but it should be priced fairly as if a purchased package was being depreciated over a normal time span of product usefulness. CS6 should be $675/36months=$18.75/mo. if priced correctly, a monthly fee would be like an interest free loan. and there should be an upgrade path allowance.
on the flip side, there's not anything that can't be cracked..this will not end their piracy woes.
