Have you ever tried inventorying the free software you use and paying a fair price for it? I looked into it for a small IT business. For one thing, the list was very long, longer than I expected; just consider browser extensions. For another, inventorying the free software and especially making all those small payments is very time-consuming. Finally, the costs add up. Given the money and especially time involved in paying, I wouldn't be using a lot of these programs (again, think of browser extensions). I know micro-transactions aren't a new idea, but our payment system is a debilitating bottleneck; transactions are far too slow for the speed at which I can obtain new products. What happened to micro-transactions?
