Of course not!
And still the well know "sales-effect" from piracy is applied here, too - i.e.
when one have the conditions to discriminate, one buys the most wanted and drop
the rest. E.g. I've tried every version of Fritz "without expensis" and the lot
is off my HD, while I don't like the app. On the other hand I've been a payer
(Schröder) since Gideon, only once with MCPro and would be if the King-engine
got a really update, and so on...
Conclusion;) I like the possibility to try every kind of sw *before* I buy, and
if i like it - I buy!
