[edit] Merge
- Agree. They're like the same thing.Attitude2000 18:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes B00P 20:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- Agree, with a redirect on begware to nagware.
- I agree They are essencetually the same thing. Merging them would be a good idea. Provided it is mentioned that nagware is also known as begware.
- Why did you even bother? It was the same thing... no point of a merge tag... just redirect --FlareNUKE 10:13, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Microsoft Example
Under the definition given in this article ("a type of shareware") - Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage program shouldn't be included because it "nags" users who are using pirated software, not those who have a shareware or "unregistered" version of Windows. Either the definition of "nagware" needs to be changed somewhat, the WGA section needs to be removed, or the WGA needs to be adjusted to emphasize that the concept is slightly different.

- Go ahead and change it. :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Freeware
Freeware can also be nagware.
For example a free to use program which nags the user to upgrade to a paid version with more features, but NOT disable the program after a trail period. The developers develop a free and paid version side by side.
Do note I am not talking about Crippleware.
Just like Evrsoft First Page 2006 ? After a period, it keeps nagging users at application startup and closing, to entice them to buy the Professional version, wich comes with even more features. Evrsoft First Page 2006 was touted as being free, however is more like nagware.--Omega Said 08:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
