True for me, thanks be to Sculley and Atkinson.


Why not have a 30 day free trial of LC bundled with every new Mac and PC? This is likely not as easy as it sounds.

There is a much simpler solution: Make a Mac App Store version. Have it be the personal edition, at a good price (say $49), and up-sell people on the more expensive options.
