Why free upgrade is needed?
Some years ago, when Microsoft Windows 95 replaced Windows 3.1, some friends complaint about such change, saying they had to learn everything ago.
Every program has deflects and usually cannot be found with thousands tests. Requirements are changing continuously and no matter how perfect a program were, it cannot satisfy the demand sometime after.
Just like the small programs that I produced for selling in the One Dollar Software House. In fact I have tested them and asked some people to test too. Before releasing, there has been some adjustment upon suggestions.
Take the example of the recently upgraded USC Password Security Storage System Light Version 1.1. With the new function for users to browse online so that with a click for copying to and paste from clipboard with Ctrl-V for login and password, repeat testing gave satisfactory result.
In order to investigate further, I have decided to use it daily myself. After a few days, I found that there would be something to fine-tune for better performance. Of course, as experience told me, it will be better to wait and continue the test for some more days so that I can see whether another upgrading should be done.
No matter the size of software house, no matter how many developers involved, the result is the same. You need to have new versions either to correct some bugs or to add functions for better performance etc.
I just feel lucky that those small programs are supplied in electronic formats so that any free upgrade would not have to waste any materials.
