Apple's weird idea of free

Speaking of the Mac App Store, I am annoyed every time I look at the Top Free Apps section. It includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

There is absolutely nothing free about any of these apps. You download them, launch them, and they immediately invite you to set up a paid account.

You cannot do one single thing for free.

I can only assume that Apple is in on this scam, which makes it all the more disappointing.
