Is there any possibility of getting information on the numbers at present of usage in Japan of the free Alwil product?
I am not so sure that the mindset outlined of a distrust of a free product is as relevant these days as in days past, especially as younger people become more accustomed to using the Net. A whole lot of young folks here prefer free and know very well that a lot of products on the Net need not be paid for just to be reliable.
As for getting the Alwil product into more folks' heads I think the only sure way is a trade journal article on the exact subject of this thread -- free doesn't mean low quality, especially when it comes to the Alwil product. You get a good article in a reputable trade journal and start pushing for it to be put online and then you pass that link around to all those sites somebody was so kind as to post.
By the way, that list of sites needs lengthening. Possibly I can get around to it later this week, but I stumbled upon this thread at a bad time to be able to contribute much at the moment.
One more thing, about those numbers, why did Vlk only ask about Japan? I mean, why wasn't Korea included as a target? I'm just wondering if the number of users in Korea is much higher than in Japan?
