The material sent to us by our regular reader who otstavivat practice license software and services. Considered Windows, Mac OSX, iOS and Android.
The first thing I would say - I do not advertise. Moreover, I try to use a free program if their functionality is fine with me. Another aspect of the paid software / services - it is those. support. Most free software is written "for himself" and offered «as is» - no one bears any responsibility for the consequences of use. This is especially critical for applications running
directly from the system. Tweaker, registry cleaning and others.
Windows
More or less serious software producers:
a) Optimize program for Microsoft operating systems. They not only detect various "glitches", but also optimize the loading of the "iron", etc.
b) actively fight against pirates.
c) Promptly obnovlenyayut bought your software.
Take for example, Kaspersky Anti-Virus. How much time I killed in the search of valid keys, bolting left Database signatures. It seems - a couple of minutes, okay. But a few minutes here, a few minutes there and get killed needlessly hours time. Those. your time against your money. What is more important every man for himself decides. When I got rid of this problem, I decided to optimize and other software.
By the way, there is one more interesting nuance. One time I was repairing computers. Without looking up from school, I just brought home "patients." I noticed a very interesting thing. With the ability to download any software that people download the same-thing, the fact that at the hearing or that neighbor Bob advised. Photoshop, Nero, of course MS Office to the most expensive configuration. When I am asking people what they do, for example, in Photoshop... you get the idea. Simple actions with photographs that are available in the free gimp and even paint'e. Here are relying on this and I pinpointed that I had common sense. Windows 7. What? Not "maximum" - that's for sure. Office what? The cheapest. But here we can say that there is Open Office. Yes. But with it is another problem. I'm used to MS Office and acquainted with the free analogue decided I did not want to spend time on their development, because I do already familiar to MS Office. I do not have Photoshop, or Nero, or Acrobat pro.
Certainly hard to Article discuss all the nuances, but I think the main message is clear.
P.S. I stopped off windows update.
iOS, Android Market and Mac OSX
Actively used Install0us. By the way, a great way to get acquainted with a paid software. Although, if you do not like the program, it simply remove the money and do not pay, because Apple iTunes is not an invoice immediately upon purchase.
Again, you will think twice before putting all Labuda. And in general, my personal attitude towards the software has changed. For example, if I have the screenshots do not understand the functionality of the program - no downloading. As I have already said - absolutely no desire to learn to work with a particular program, because there is always a bunch of peers. Especially, if the fee-based program.
Another plus - bought application is always yours, well, upgrade, understand. You can change the iPhone 3Gs 4 / 4s and your applications to install. Moreover, I bought baby games for the iPad, and then open iTunes on your iPhone - start downloading the same game, but in the iPhone.
Cydia? The answer is obvious to me - yes. Tweaks, themes and so on. "Goodies" available through Cydia - I can not abandon them. But in the Cydia I have enough free.
Almost the same can be said about the Android Market, and about the App Store for Mac OS - is the preservation of your purchased software in the app stores, updates, support, money back, etc.
And do not forget important - installation of hacked programs threatens to set different "malware."
Once again I want to remind you that this is not propaganda. For me personally, this is a real life hacking - I spend a minimum amount of time messing with the software. In addition, unwanted software, you can sell / trade / donate.
