Thanks for your help  |
Check out some of these themes:
Best Free Magazine WordPress Themes
A lot of those themes are very much on par with the themes I saw on Woo Themes. "Better" or "Worse" are relative concepts, but I can tell you that the quality of some of these free themes is absolutely amazing.
Plus, if you google "free wordpress themes" you'll find a lot more (not just magazine style themes like in the link above). Sure, there's a lot of junk out there, but there are still quite a few nice themes for free. It's just a matter of sifting through them to find what you are looking for.

People pay for sites like SBI because there is more to building a website than just installing the right components. The knowledge gained from places like SBI is why people pay for them.

Yeah, from buying hosting/domain to installing wordpress it can literally be a matter of minutes.
Building the actual website and the content takes a lot of time and work though. Wordpress just gives you the tools to speed up the "grunt work" part of building a website (designing pages) so that you can focus on content.

As far as I know. Steve's site is a wordpress site and some of his blog posts are 7000 words long. I've never heard of anybody maxing out in a single post.

Sure you can use it for business purposes. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I think Yahoo uses wordpress (or something like it).
Limitations involve things like Justin was saying. You couldn't build a high functionality site with it (think of sites like myspace/facebook).
