[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1524322, member: 110816"] Chas stated some very good reason why there is a large amount of free software, another reason is that a lot of companies have been successful at creating a free app or free service and getting wide adoption and then turning that around into a money making business once they have the user mass to support a money making model.. As far as programs go, in MOST cases, Chas' first reason is the primary motivator. Frankly, as a software developer by trade, I fall into that category..I've got a ton of small applications that I've written for various things on many platforms for things that I do but no application did for me..that's just the way we are..:) [/QUOTE]
