And how would you know? There actually was a person who did the
experiment. He wrote a piece of software which when installed would
either act crippled or non-crippled (based on randomness) -- the
registration ratio for the crippled version was significantly higher
than for the non-crippled version (of cause he did not let the users
know about the experiment).
So it would seem that crippling your software is one way to increase
sales -- although I am also very frustrated about software which takes
half a minute to launch the first time I want to test it, I decide it
is not for me, and then I have to wait another 30 seconds to quit it --
or software which I install, and when I eventually get around to
playing with it, it has already expired ;)
