It's gotten to the point where soon every small print shop in America will close because of this type thing. Why pay for something you can do at home on your PC for free? Most of the new features in both CS3 and CS4 fall under this category.
I don't think Adobe intended to have live preflight as "be all end all" tool for designers nor meant to kill off pro level work. I just dislike the thought they are pitching this function to designers as if though it will save them from design mistakes or bad layout creation. Live Preflight is a step up from CS3 version but still a mini-version of what Acrobat Prof does and certainly far behind PitStop plugin.
