Many software developers have offered a free, minimal program. It has been a successful tool for those who cannot afford to buy the program but, if they can use it, can become helpful by letting others know its usefulness. This has happened for many of the utilities, especially virus protectors.. If people want the additional features in the paid program and can afford the price, they will buy it.
Source Forge offers all its software for free. Its open source allows developers. and coders to improve on programs. Open Office, much like MS Office but at no cost (which many have used instead of MS Office) has been in existence for a number of years and must, certainly,seems to be drawing away customers for the extraordinarily expensive (at least for average, home users) Microsoft Office. Now it is said that Microsoft plans to offer a free version of Office in the same manner. Click here for more info.
GNU/Linux (pronounced G-Noo) writes of its free software: " Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in “free beer”. What is GNU? Click here
Unless you are a business for whom expensive software is a tax write-off, .It behooves most of us to find what gets our job done at least out-of-pocket expense.
It is important to note software mentioned above is not a copy of a copyright program in existence. Cheap copies are like the man in the raincoat on the street corner who opens his coat to flash copies of expensive watches. Those are scams. For more info, click here.
