nero
The same can be said for Nero-Linux .. costly and compared to the already free alternatives like K3B a pile of junk. Proprietary software needs more than just it's name to sell it to open source users. I for one don't really care so much about the open source nature of an application as long as it works and has a feature advantage over the free competition.. and theres the problem.. the proprietary competition expects to release junk (for real money) and that savvy users will buy it because of their name.. of course what do we do? .. we grab cracked versions and test it out.. find that it's rubbish and warn everybody else off.
They have to get over themselves and start producing good products if they want us to pay for them.. (we will pay, but it has to be at least as good as the competition, or the windoze version, if not better) just because windows users are brainwashed into paying for rubbish doesn't mean FOSS users are.. in fact we aren't.. I don't even pay for proprietary software for my one and only windoze box..
Bottom line.. if it's good and has features nothing else has that I need then I will pay for it.. if not then it deserves what it gets... ignored and left to die out.
