Elements 6 SlideShow - great Stuff, but not for Mac!

Here my case: (German Adobe Customer)
I have previously used elements 4 (windows vers.) for some time, especially for producing slideshows to DVD/CD, with titles, music and narration, and was a pretty satisfied customer.
Recently I made the switch to Apple. The iMac runs well (intell) and I decided to invest into elements 6 for the mac.

Before my purchase, I surfed Adobe's beautiful elements website and got information/acquainted with the new version 6 details. Watching the online videos was wonderful, creating my slideshows looked to be soo much more fun now !

A few days later, after studying the manual and playing around a good deal with the new program, I got frustrated - was I too stupid to find the slideshow functions?
So I wrote to Adobe product support (Germany) and gave a detailed description of what I was missing and asked how to find it -step by step.

The product support answer was a pure disaster (translated from german): the capability of both programs (Windows & Mac) are but the same, only that the Mac vers. now has the new bridge module, so there are a few different steps now creating a slideshow. No mention at all of the lacking capabilities of the mac version 6 - which can not produce slide shows after all (where is this mentioned on the website?)

Check out "Slide Show Editor MAC" in O'Reilly Media, here on this site!
This Expert clearly states that I can not produce slidshows with the mac version! If Adobe would have mentioned this at all on their site, I would not have bought this program to start with!!!!

My next step was an attempt to get through to Adobe Germany and ask that I get my money back. Well, their answer was a mere - if you didn't buy over Adobe, here's nothing we can do for you.

So what can I do now? I own a wonderful program that does not do what I bought it for.
I am very disappointed now, a clear statement on the Adobe elements 6 for mac webpage - no slideshow included. - would have saved me a lot of trouble and cash!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
