Starter Edition, I think. 3 processes at most, at any one time.
Observations I have made:
* Many people already pirate the software.
* Governments prefer not to pirate, but they understand lockins and have a
responsibility for people's future. Home users, on the other hand, is where
piracy is happening the most.
* The software is very limited.
* The percieved value of the software is a real damaging point here.
* Too little, too late.
