[QUOTE="plat, post: 924794, member: 74969"] I don't disagree with anything you're saying, except I do object to painting 99/100 folks on this forum w/the same brush. Many seem to be users of Microsoft Defender--actually one of the most expensive antivirus products if you purchased a key at full retail (I did) or bought OEM. Software development is no different from any other commodity: survival of the fittest. You're disparaging a human trait---to take advantage of low-hanging fruit. That's what these extended trials are: low-hanging fruit. It ain't tasty? Oh well. Many devs of smaller software have day jobs to pay their bills, they're not languishing on the vine. Extending a trial is a marketing strategy. When the returns fall below a pre-set limit, it'll be time to move on. Home was never as lucrative as Enterprise, esp. thanks to ransomware. That's just the way it is. [/QUOTE]
