Steve,

> Turning colour management off doesn't turn off a default workspace.

That may be a matter of definition.  Where is this default space set and
what is it?  Those with more computer expertise than I can probably answer
this.  It could be in the system and not Photoshop.  As a practical matte,
on my Windows XP, GG 2.2 seems to be the default.  With the growing
importance of the Web, and it's apparent use of this standard, I'd guess
most system designers would follow this standard also.

I suspect it will outsell the full PS by orders of magnitude.  I downloaded
a free trial version and decided it was worth the $50 on eBay (which also
got me a cheapo digital camera to give my kid).

In talking to a forum member off list, I think I agree with him that the
system has loaded a profile into the Color folder that is controlling the
monitor out of the box.  If one uses a profiling program for the monitor,
that software is probably in control of the default monitor settings.
