Hi,
Another factor is perceived value based on price. Many people assume
things are better when they cost more/at all, without examining actual
quality and value even slightly. I unfortunately don't have a clue how
to address this, because I can't grasp the mentality behind it in
order to see how to change it.
I mentioned free software back when there wasn't much of it
out there. My office mate, who is an ultimate pessimist,
sarcastically suggested that you get what you pay for. My
experience since is that this is false. The ratio of
functionality to cost, where cost includes learning and
maintenance, is much higher with free software than with
commercial software. I moved to OO.o with 1.1 and have not
looked back.
