Man, it looks good but why do all small software companies use that same awful web site template?

It sounds shallow, but it really makes me think I should avoid their products.

That, and all screenshots being from Windows XP…

Because most of them run this “business” in their spare time, an hour here, an hour there, at the expense of family and social time.
With the 1-5 licenses sold per week I’d estimate here, do the math,....spending time on stuff like replacing screenshots every so often and working on website design, isn’t cost effective, nor is it a hobby of most of shareware developers, many just like coding but not the other stuff connected to running a shareware business (docs, website, support,...).

Hi.

What site are you talking about:

* http://code.google.com/p/keynote-nf/ -> that’s the template all open-source apps on code.google.com use
* http://www.tranglos.com/free/keynote.html -> that is a site last updated 2005

Then you will be missing out on a useful piece of note collection software.

What’s wrong with Windows XP?
