I need to be reassured or not that my grey cells are not operating in 
a non standard loop! At the moment my keyboard is in danger of needing 
replacement due to my head banging against it.

1. The scenario.
   
   A company has produced a software product for a  specific purpose 
for more than 8 years.

Suddenly they branch out and produce a product that is complimentary 
to their original product but has a different purpose.

2. Company markets (clearly which is a new departure for them) the 
original product with price, the new product with price AND an 
integrated product that combines both(just thought I'd make clear the 
term integrated).
 They have emailed some users details of the integrated product.

Now people are complaining that they've purchased the integrated 
product, but they don't want to use the new part of the product only 
the original part. 

There are moans aplenty that they are being forced to purchase a 
product they don't want. 

Why should they install part of a product they are not going to use?

Why should they now have to go through a series of hoops to install 
this software package to only use the part they want?

I am running out of nice ways to point out - that if they only wanted 
an upgrade then they should have purchased - the standalone version. 
Integrated means well combined two become one. 

Am I being unreasonable to think along the lines - if you've purchased 
a package that behaves as one then it would be reasonable to expect 
difficulties if I didn't want to use it in the manner that it has been 
designed for?
