This problem isn't helped by those "99 cent software"
remainder boxes in various stores.  For just 99 cents
you can get a software application written for
Windows98 (or a formerly shareware application written
for WindowsXP) which is total crap compared to
something worth $39.95 or more.  One 99 cent CD
purchase and your average person will decide that
cheap equals junk, and that free must be even worse.
