If Apple released a "desktop applications pack" containing things like Spotlight, Dashboard, Automator, and released it for £25 or so, then that would be okay. But even the £60 student price seems like a rip off to me, for what you're getting.

My thoughts exactly, even £59 seems a lot of money for what appears to be little more than a few new apps/tricks, of which it remains to be seen if you will use them. As an example, I think I've used Expose once (on 10.3). Decided it looked flash, and then forgot about it... I would not be surprised of Spotlight and Dashboard will be the same. And what is Automator? A front end for Applescript? I've got Applescript...
