I perfer the demos that are completely opened and fully functional with a XX times to run or XX amount of days. A perfect example is the TV Remote software from PDAWin.com. It's 100% functional and open for X amount of runs. It was perfect for us to try to see if it would work for our equipment before we bought it. I firmly believe all software should be this way.

The demos I'm talking about (at least two of the stats packages specifically) are supposedly time limited full versions. But they don't work. And there's no need to resort to ad hominem attacks - I am neither dumb nor the purchasee of such shoddy software.
Again with the ad hominem attacks about my licensing at home. You really are demonstrating your ignornace. I most certainly do have open licensing at home. I do everything on my business computers (no time for games or other personal stuff, so don't wail on me about tax deductions). I need no google skills, I'll just call my MS rep.
Think of the difference between me and you as the difference between a typical community college instructor and a university professor with respect to teaching undergraduates. While they both may have the same training, the community college instructor tends to get paid less and have less opportunity for kickbacks. That tends to mean that they're there because they like teaching, and will deliver a higher quality education for it. The typical university professor has more opportunity for fame and cash, and will do the bare minimum of undergraduate teaching that is required to keep up the cash flow. Can you place us?
