Quick Question: Would you guys Pre-Order (non-Steam) for something I make?
UPDATE: http://ABetter10.com :)

Hey hey!

So I'm about 75% done with one of my upcoming projects, something that focuses exclusively around Windows 10.

My upcoming software focuses around keeping your info as private as possible for Windows 10, making tons of registry tweaks, service changes, removing Windows 10 junk, blocking Microsoft tracking, stops your wifi from being shared, and then the application monitors your privacy and alerts you if stuff changes. That sort of stuff. It also streamlines Windows 10 bloatware/junk that is installed. It'll be priced at $14.99.

The Question: Would you pre-order it?
I'm considering opening up for pre-order via my website. Is this something you guys would be interested in? Would you pre-order it, knowing that it is being created by me and has a release in 2-4 weeks? The way it would work is this: You'd visit the website, pre-order, get instantly emailed a registration key which you'd use when the software launches. That's it!

So, would you guys pre-order?

Thanks in advance for letting me know!

Would it be any different from the solutions already online?

I love the sound of it, but I'm not sure I'd pre-order at this time.

Not to mention this seems exactly like the software microsh!t would disable and cite it as "malware"

Of course. Right now there isn't any comprehensive solutions.

Mine will be: Better, easier to use, fully supported (meaning updated often), waaaaaaaaaaaay more features, created from a legitimate and trusted source. Also, and this is very important, my software is fully legit. As in, no breaking EULA, no breaking TOS, fully AOK to use. This means no backlash from Microsoft, etc.

Plus mine will be sold via Steam.

For $15 I'd be interested in giving it a try. I :moveicon:THINK:moveicon: that I got everything turned off and locked down on my own, but I'm not 100% sure. :UnhappyMask: Also if it really can monitor if any private info is being shared, that could be useful...though I'm skeptical of how it would work. :really: I don't want a bunch of false alarms obviously.:berserk:

I've not jumped into windows 10 but it sounds like something you'd find on google and could follow a guide to tweak yourself if you have the patience. Might be worth it for someone who has more money than time.

I'm not certain, as there are other cleaner/defrag/optimizer packages I've used in the past that I can upgrade to for a similar dollar amount. Granted, depending on how comprehensive the privacy-guarding aspect of it is, that definitely has value.

Pre-ordering something unknown I don't know if I'd put out more than $5-$10 without more details.

*EDIT*: The more I think about it, and that Tim describes it (those 'more details' i mentioned initially), I do realize how many odd security-related issues Windows10 has, and think this does have more value. So yes, I would pre-order it for the $15.

Think about it like this: Right now there are a lot of things needing to be changed. We are talking dozens of things. It'll approach likely 100 tweaks soon. Things that can't even be done via normal Windows (requires registry changes, policy changes, service changes, software security changes, escalation modifications, network interruptions, etc). To think that an average person can do all those things, and stay on top of new things, is a pretty far stretch.

My software will fix all these privacy issues + Windows 10 tweaks + Also monitor if those things change. For example, if Windows deploys a patch which re-enables something, my software would disable it again and alert you that it was re-enabled.

For those who haven't jumped onto Windows 10, or don't know much about it yet, do this: Google Windows 10 privacy

Read the links. ALL the links. You'll be shocked (in the least).

There's already a number of free utilites that cover this issue.

Like what? I haven't exactly gone digging for any, but I haven't run across any nor have I had any recommended on forums like gamefaqs...

As with everything else online, there is always bits and pieces of things here and there, from various people, trusted or not, with varying levels of support, with varying risks of using those pieces of software, let alone with various states of availability.

The point of what I am doing is this: To build an extremely comprehensive, featureful, extremely functional, super easy to use, and fully supported piece of software. Nothing exists that does this as of yet, not even remotely close, and even if there was multiple software pieces that were excellent in support, functionality, and user ease, the fact that competition breeds excellence will cause the better software to prevail.

My software is extremely easy to use, fully supported, FULLY LEGIT (this is important! No EULA/TOS breaking stuff), and has some pretty damn good features that will only get better over time.

I'm putting together a shell of a website tomorrow. When I have that ready then I'll post some screenshots :)
