I'm moderator of three shareware newsgroups (and have been for nine years), an ex Vice President of the Association of Shareware Professionals, an ex Board member of the Association of Shareware Professionals, a member of AISIP (Assoc of Independent Software Industry Professionals) and have written and been involved in software in various capacities, markets and marketing methods for over twenty years. I'm keeping my cool here - but you are talking a load of dog waffle. The crappiest software in existence is coming from ISV's (wanna be shareware authors) - the net is full of it - sadly. They perform no bug testing, no user focus groups, no market research and spend their whole live bitching and moaning about pirates, instead of improving their all to often garbage products. Writing a programming compiler and associated IDE and tools can not in any way be compared to the trivial applications attempted by ISV's aka shareware authors. I wish it was not the case - but it is. A days downloading and download.com will support this contention. 90% write knock off app's (also known as "me too" app's) for tools that clone the likes of Winzip and other products and they don't even improve on the idea - in fact they ship inferior rot and then cry foul when consumers don't buy it. If you can't stand bugs in software and you believe it is possible to ship without them (and I'm not talking show stoppers) then you are living in the land of noddy driving a car built for one. No personal insult intended, but this is a *major* area of contention for me. Scott Kane -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
