Hmm. Maybe you can clarify the versions when you said some sites were near equal.
But just think of the market. If youre site is the only one they can see clearly, then you've eliminated the competition. And if that's 5% of 10000 users hitting your site monthly. Then you've got 500 near exclusive users. Sure its free but think of the people there who are terrified of trying to update anything on their computer for fear of having to spend their hard earned money paying a delinquent high school dropout to fix it. For the computer illiterate there IS a cost to upgrading even free software.
