I think you should try to talk with some people who have written
shareware & get their view. It seems to me that you wanna aim to
write the next "netscape" and try to get Microsoft to buy you
out. Lotta people out there doing that though, and almost all of
them give their software away.
Moral: don't give up your day job ;-)
good luck
