"Cheaper always beats better ..." That's an interesting one. Does that mean if Corel lowers the price of its Office Suite to $49 that it will outsell Microsoft Office? What doctor do you want treating your sick child? A good, more expensive doctor, or the cheap doctor? Would you rather fly an airline that cuts corner on safety issues, or one that charges a little more and doesn't cut corners on safety issues? And what heppens when cheaper actually costs you more in the long-run because of all the time you spend working around cheaper's inadequacies.
