No, they don't do that... What usually happens with proprietary software is that they put out a lot of marketing material and a manual that nobody reads, the damn thing doesn't perform to expectations,there's a helpless help line, and people end up asking their neighbourhood geek anyway. The only difference is the price placebo - after paying so much (or alternatively, pirating it and feeling satisfied about *not* paying so much), you feel that it's so much better than something that's free... Of course, there are exceptions to that rule (some of Apple's software, for example - damn easy to understand, if nothing else), but I find that to be the most common scenario. Shash
