[AccessD] Five Absolutely Essential Utilities that make Windows better - Scott Hanselman

I agree with rewarding a developers efforts!

But in this case, if I can't arrange the icons within the fence, it is of no
value to me.  Just like a car without a steering wheel.  So I get a little
miffed by the seller who offers a free version which doesn't have the basic
features to be useful.

So, I'll get the pro version, but if I recommend this to someone, I'll have
to tell them that the free version is worth nothing.

No, give you a basic car and ask if you would like a CD player, air
conditioning,  GPS etc.

It's up to you decide in your circumstances if it is worth $9.95 to you in
increased 
convenience and comfort.   

But if no one buys the optional extras, they can't afford to develop and
give the basic car away at all and everyone loses.

Personally, I think it is a great way to reward developers' efforts.
