Personally I don't like this kind of marketing. I use a lot of
so-called "shareware" and was always quick to decide if I need it or
not. When I found it useful I paid for it. The ones I usually killed
more or less immediately are those that use any kind of crippleware
scheme as you described.
I don't know the customer statistics of RITLabs, but the scheme you
propose would mean first that the proportions between unregistered
users and registered users (to be precise: bought and non-bought
versions) has to be very, very, very out of equilibrium. And secondly
it would require more staff on RITLabs side, assuming that more people
register.
Shouldn't we let marketing schemes to RITLabs, and concentrate more on
using TB!?
