- This 'CHECKOUT' GROUP distributes software for the sole purpose of testing
- prior to purchase. You've 24 hours to try the software and determine that
- it is worth purchasing, then you must destroy it. Many users have purchased
- products by the way the program 'looks' on the box and have been extremely
- disappointed - and have therefore wasted their money and (more important)
- time. Nobody in their right mind would purchase a car without test driving
- it first, or for that matter...purchase clothes without trying them on, so
- how can software vendors expect users to buy one of their products without
- first testing it? They will send copies of their software to large corpo-
- rations to test but seem to forget there are also other users in the market
- willing to purchase their product if it meets their needs. This program is
- for evaluation only, if you like this product then go to your local computer
- store and purchase it, otherwise PLEASE do not USE or in anyway DISTRIBUTE
- this product! There are many advantages to purchasing this product including:
-
- 1) Technical Support: Software vendors set up technical support lines for
- the purpose of helping their registered users get the
- most out of the product and help with any bug concerns,
- etc. It is to your advantage to be able to use this
- (and the many features of the program).
-
- 2) Manuals: Manuals are a very important part of a software package.
- No book or text file can replace the original manuals,
- which come with the product. This enables the user to
- get the most out of the package, especially with the
- very complex programs of today.
-
- 3) Upgrades: With buying the original program, you are entitled to
- low priced or free upgrades to new versions, bug fixes,
- and 'enhancements'.
-
- 4) Legality: Using a program without owning a registered copy is
- illegal.
-
- 5) Control Of The When companies who create good products are supported,
- Industry it reinforces the need for good products and helps the
- company continue to create more quality products. On
- the other hand, companies who create substandard
- products have two options; either improve their
- products or get out of the industry.
-
- Until companies come up with a better way of allowing users to test their
- products before purchasing, 'checkout' GROUPs will continue to make
- available products for your testing. Companies recently have started to
- head in this direction and you can now return some products to the company
- if you are not completely satisfied (Norton, and a few others), but this
- does not remedy the situation as the refund/credit takes a long time to get
- processed and is a BIG hassle! We feel that under the current software
- industry standards of doing business, that evaluating software releases
- prior to actual purchase is still the best solution.
