I bought this software on impulse at a office supply warehouse store. The box says the disc includes 2,000 images and implies access to 400 million more images. The requirements say that the user is responsible for Internet access fees and phone charges, which sounds like ISP and dial-up phone fees to me.
It turns out the software appears to be the same software that can be downloaded from the website for free (with a few sample images). It also seems like the boxed software does not include membership to the premium content on the web site. You have to sign up for a free account to access the site, but that doesn't require this product. So unless one of those things is not true what you are buying here is the 2,000 images. Unless those images are not available on the site it might make more sense to join the webshots site for $2.50/month and download collections of images you want.
This product might be appropriate for someone that does not have broadband Internet access. I would have been more satisfied with the product if it was either less than $10 or if it included six or more months of premium web site content access.
