Ask an average computer user whether they would be more willing to:
1. pay $50 for software that will work without complex installation procedures, comes with technical support if you ever have a problem with it, and has extensive documentation?
2. pay nothing for software that does the same thing, but may have a vastly incompatible and confusing interface, come with no technical support, is not guaranteed to work at all (nor guaranteed not to ruin your existing system), nor comes with complete documentation?
¿can We suppose the average user uses MS-Win O.S.?, ¿how much does it cost?, ¿$50? (<A HREF="http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=MS+windows+home&btnG=Search+Froogle" TITLE="google.com">be realistic</a google.com>), ¿have you read the license terms and conditions?, ¿do they guarantee to work on "your" system?, ¿do they guarantee it's not going to ruin your existing system?, ¿does it comes with "complete" documentation?
They DON'T guarantee this, but they still want you to pay, so if i can get the same "guarantees" but "gratis" (spanish word for "without paying money"), it makes sense for me to do it.
