story imageGiving potential users the chance to test your software to committing to buying it is important and useful. Too bad large corporations so infrequently make it easy to do so. Here's what it took one person in order to test drive a copy of Microsoft SQL Server Express 2014 : 12 steps and a lot of hassle. Good thing he's got a sense of humor.

For me though the worst part isn't the fact that you have to pay for it, it's the fact they finally make you download some sketchy downloader program - it's just another hoop. Sun used to do the same with downloaders of openoffice and the like - jump through the hoop, fill out the forms, push the buttons, and here comes the download! No - it's just the downloader and when you get done installing that, only then do you get to start downloading the software you went out looking for in the first place.
