    You can choose the "video plus" option when configuring the Vaio FW for only $44. It says this option comes with adobe premiere pro and Vegas Pro 8. I know that Vegas Pro is $500 software...so am i correct in guessing that this is just trial-ware? Of course it makes NO mention of it being a trial, but for the price it doesn't make any sense.

    Video Plus
    AdobeĀ® PremiereĀ® Pro CS4

    Vegas Pro
    Vegas Pro 8 software combines real-time SD, DV, HDV and AVCHD video editing with unrivaled audio tools to provide the ultimate all-in-one environment for creative professionals - high-definition and high-fidelity. With its unique, visual approach to digital video and audio production, Vegas Pro 8 software delivers tremendous power, incredible speed, and maximum productivity in an uncomplicated, efficient platform.

    Note:
    Available Video Software options vary dependant upon model. All options listed may not be available for this specific Configure-to-Order model.

    I figured out by looking at another sony laptop, I am supposed to see these options:
    # Video Standard $5
    # Video Plus [add $39.00]
    # Vegas Pro [add $209.00]

    Video plus only comes with adobe premiere, not Vegas.
