There is nothing wrong with shareware products. Except when you have to remove them from your computer after you install them. Reliable, usable and functional. Some are good and some so so.

And have flaky registry files that may or may not conflict. Linux is starting to really catch on. I'm finding more and more reference books in the book store I shop at.
