Very true but there would be even more of testers and less of ones that gave up in advance if there was a chance of getting something expensive for free or at least be offered with substantial savings. I know that for myself, had to do it a lot with my machines and products they manufactured. I always had some brake pads and rotors we were making set aside and given free to friends and people I knew to install on their cars with a provision to give them back when they are changed again so I can see results and number of miles they made using hem. No artificial testing on machines could do such accurate results for use in various environments. Our products were cheaper than Windows but we still mad a good profit and because of being able to make a better product we still made handsome profit that far surpassed loss of revenue on those parts. Just a good business practice. Those, being brake parts, had potentially much greater impact on people's lives than Windows could.
