Shareware. Now there's a word you don't hear much these days. In a nutshell, shareware is proprietary software provided to users without payment, usually on a trial basis. By "trial basis" I mean that either the software is crippled by missing functionality or by a limited number of uses or by a set period of time. By whatever mechanism, shareware is built on the try-before-you-buy model.
