Pricing / entry cost for this tool

[Thomas McGrath III]

WHOOO!!!  I would definitely not go for this. The hassles alone  
trying to license for deployment only to find out the product I try  
to sell has no chance in a big market or any market. That is too  
much. I would not buy a tool like that. I much prefer a couple  
hundred dollars to create useful utilities for myself and then have  
the chance to try and deploy a couple of products for sale with out  
the risk. I would gladly pay double what Rev is asking for the  
opportunity to have a free license to deploy what and where and how I  
want to with no more money, ever, going to them after the initial  
purchase. I think this would reduce long term revenues and invite  
nothing but free tire kickers, heck it would turn me off from trying  
to take big risks building products I thought might be good but  
wasn't sure would be good.

I'm sorry but I very much disagree with this mentality completely.
