More About Freeware Software in General
Since the dawn of time man has been trying to get something for nothing, and in this day and age it’s more true than ever. Once computers had established themselves as reliable tools to automate mundane tasks, software developers were ready to invest time and resources in creating software for these new machines.
In the beginning, software companies decided to release free demos. In that time companies hadn’t quite grasped the concept of a ‘demo’, so their free packages could have been considered a bit too functional. One popular example would be ID Software’s Wallenstein 3D Shareware Version. While this particular demo only featured ten action packed levels, it seemed like a full game to most people who had only experienced short games on their consoles.
After finishing the ten levels and feeling very satisfied most of them thought something along the lines of “Wait, there’s more of this?!”
Other freeware packages included printing software, graphics, animation, and a multitude of other games. This has continued all the way from the 5 ½ floppy disc to the DVD. In stores you could purchase CD ROM collections for an insanely low price that featured demos of some of the best software out there.
This began the era of freeware software. Today it has evolved into something that is much more than just shareware. Today companies are actually providing free versions of their software. You might have some questions on this subject, the most obvious question being: why?
People want to try the new software as it comes out, but they want the full functionality of that software. They don’t want just a pretty interface, they want it to do something.
For this reason companies will release freeware software that performs the basic functions, but if you want access to some of the higher functions you will either have to pay a registration fee or go out and buy the full program.
Typically these packages are offered over the internet for download. Usually you can find them on the company’s website and for the most part they’re very easy to get. No matter what sort of software you need, there is probably a free version out there that you can try! Make sure to check out our Freeware Geeks Freeware Software Directory.
