Starter Kit -- too good??

I for one would not have purchased Revolution had I NOT been able to 
try it out to the extent that is limited in the demo. I still had to 
buy the full version to get the stack import feature enabled, cross 
platform, etc. Then the upgrade from Super/Hypercard special cinched 
the deal for me.

The challenge of doing brief, lean code is a perfect introduction to 
this platform, allowing new users to get used to the structures and 
ideas, and then when they get serious, they can buy a paid version.

Schools could use the RR demo as an aid for programming classes (I'm 
sure that was a calculated decision). And these classes could sprout 
a whole army of RR savvy programmers, who will in turn use and buy 
registered versions.

With people developing solutions in RR at many levels, it can only 
help the development platform flourish which is good for everyone.

Brilliant marketing/demo execution, IMHO. It worked for me.
