New Computer term: Whoreware


Recommended Posts

I made this word up, I don't think it exists. To me it means:

- Software that comes with spyware

- Software that is *free* and yet has annoying advertising (eg. MSN Messenger :yes: + Eudora Mail etc.)

- Software that you purchase and then you're forced to buy other plugins and snapins from the same company to make it really useful.

- Software that appears to be *free* and pops up a "You'll feel better if you register" message.

So if we were to enter this word into the 2005 Concise Computer Terms Dictionary, what else could it / or would it represent to you?
