FinePrint is about the only commercial software package that I purchase 
and install on every Windows machine that I am forced to use. I'm 
trying to encourage my current employer to purchase and roll out a few 
thousand instances of it at the moment.

The same functionality is available under unix, with at least 'a2ps' 
and probably with the various ghostscript variations out there.

However, given that there is an existing investment in Microsoft 
Windows in place, the incremental investment in FinePrint is definately 
worthwhile.

In my opinion, there is nothing inherently wrong or evil about charging 
for software :-) especially when it's good useful stuff like FinePrint. 
There definately *is* something inherently wrong about buying software 
simply because you refuse to believe that open source is worth looking 
at.
