Like I said, claiming "massive benefits" and other hand-waving is only convincing to the small minority that are already convinced. For everyone else, the "massive benefits" are either not massive enough to bother, or the switching cost is too high. Either way they arent going to bother - physical / virtual or any other way you want to deliver it. No-one likes paying a fee for something, but the license fee is a pretty small component of the overall ownership/opportunity cost. No business is going to think you are a hero by saving them a pound for every 10 you make them spend on your alternative.
