No but it confuses a lot of people. Most donot want to have all those
bells and whistles or better, they will never ever use it and to
compete with that mass of uneducated users a nice smooth and easy
working emailer HAS a market and as the basic controls are the same as
the 'full' bat its one way of making sure one may have a base of
future users...
One of the reasons winzip is everywhere is that their protection was
lousy and they spread it everywhere and from what I heard their
biggest problem isnt piracy, its the many orders with missing email
addresses....
Take office or windows, in the begin protection was lousy, serials
like 1 11-1111111 or then 1112-1111111.
Accident? no way... they had as first priority to spread their
software...
