Gottfried,
Now you would say 50¢ won't make it for the producer that will receive something like 40¢ net per copy, a check in the mail every month for the total copy sold in the month. Well, out of more than 100M windows system running, if he got 10% of them, that make possible for a good programmer to make a good $4M projects and make a living.
Hmmm... If an average user has 5 programs installed on his machine, there would be need for 500M programs, at 50 cents each, you would have the entire revenue for software industry of 250M, supporting about 2500 programmers on the entire planet where you live.
What planet are you living on BTW? When you come to Earth one day, let me know, we can have a drink. You will be paying. Here, on earth, drinks are about $5 each, or $10 for each of us. You will have to sell 20 copies of some software to pay for the drinks, here on Earth.
