Ok. Now take all the hours someone worked on WinComm, and tried to find bugs,
tested it, like you did, and apply a minimum wage to that (In colorado I
believe about 3:50 to 4 dollars) and deduct that from the 95 dollars.
What does that leave? That's what I'd pay. And 'for educational users'
doesn't apply to most people who DID the testing.

Disclaimer: I didn't test very much, I don't want a copy coz I'm
satisfied with what I got (I don't have high ambitions for what I use)
And I WOULD pay what they ask, if they whould have made their product
like other companies. But they used the labor of the net and I think they
shoud reward it.
