We have all heard of this happening. Someone needs a copy of Microsoft
Word to write their resume. They call their local computer repair
guy who comes over and installs it for no cost at all. Microsoft
has made it much more difficult to accomplish this with their
product activation, but it still happens. Just like downloading
music off of the internet for free, some people do not think twice
about stealing software. Some people justify this software theft
by saying it’s too expensive (Microsoft Office can cost
as much as an entire computer). What most people do not know is
that there is readily free software available for no cost that
anyone can download.
The internet is littered with so called “free”
software, luring people to download and use it for free, but
in reality the free software can turn out to be “time
bombed”, which means in reality, it can be used for a
few days or a few sessions, and then they ask for a credit card.
This type of software is referred to as shareware. While it
allows you to try the software before you buy it, it is sometimes
advertised as free only to find out later, it was a waste of
time. When you find truly free software, it is usually a preview
version of software that is yet to be sold as a commercial version.
Sometimes it’s just free; someone wrote the program and
allows anyone to use it. Google’s software is a good example
of this.
