Sometimes that early release simply isn't worth paying for yet
If so, no one buys it - no problem :-) (assuming they can evaluate it first, e.g. free trial).
Though there seems to me a difference between releasing early to get people to use it, and releasing to get people to pay for it.
I don't know. You could be right. But both require a benefit to the user; and both exact a cost from the user - of learning; time and effort of changing behaviour to integrate it into their life and apply to their problem; constraining other choices/products to integrate with the product (depending on what kind of product you have). It's natural to think price is the cost of something - but it's simply not. (It's true though, that customers also think of it that way).
hehe I'm getting a bit of the answering-the-comment-while-being-edited syndrome :-) It's a bit disconcerting seeing from the other side.
