I think I'll stay out of this one, except for this comment:

This is not always the case.

I bought the $25 Network, installed it for a client to provide printer
sharing, and discovered a few days later that it wouldn't work with
SHARE loaded (which said client needed for a CD-ROM.)

After many attempts I finally got through to the tech support line
(which I think actually rings on he programmer's desk) and was told
they knew about the problem and would ship an upgrade.  Did that 4 or
5 times.  No upgrade.  Am I a pleased customer?  No.  Do I
use/recommend The $25 Network?  No.

Perhaps this makes a case for releasing the $25 Network as
shareware...  I would have gotten the upgrade from a BBS, and then
would have registered as a satisfied customer.  Instead, I serve as
negative advertising.
