Nagware Masquerading as Freeware

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: Alex_6 Saturday, October 21 2006 @ 06:25 AM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

This software is NOT freeware. Freeware is free, as in FREE.

This software is NOT donationware. Donationware differs from freeware only in that the developer relies on the user's conscience to make a donation.

This software is NAGWARE, aka begware or annoyware. Each time it is launched, it pops up a dialogue nagging the user into paying a fee.

Now, it is the developer's right to distribute his software as anything he likes. However, it is NOT his right to misrepresent his software as something which it is not. Since this developer misrepresented what WinFSCleanser was, I trashed it without even trying it. It's not that I object to nagware. I object to dishonesty. As far as I'm concerned, the developer owes me for the time wasted with this software.
