Think about it. What if you actually bought every peice of software which you didnt use more than once or twice because it lacks what you need or the quality of it is just pure shit?

Example, Adobe Premiere. I installed it, launched it once and never used it again, should i have to pay for something i cant use? I dont think so. I bought photoshop though because i use that quite often.
Isn't that what trials are for? I've paid for all the software on my computer. I don't pay unless I give it a try first. Maybe the graphics and movie editing programs don't have trials, I really don't know.

I bought a couple X-Box games that I don't really like. But I'm not whining about it either. I should have rented the games first. Again, trials are great. Just look at how we make our money, from trials.
