It's hard to do that with a product that's specialized in removing features


So charge more for removing even more features. Call it Zen instead of Pro.


charge more for the zen version, add extra features for the cheaper version.


You're joking obviously, but I wonder if this has ever been successfully applied in some form or other.


Sony and other computer manufacturers will charge you more to deliver the computer _without_ the "bonus" software they usually include.

(Yes, it's probably a matter of the bonus/bloatware/crapware makers paying the manufacturer to include it vs. customers paying more to not. Flip side is a lot of that stuff _is_ useful, but many users just don't want it there to start with.)


Good example.

I've just realized I saw something in my line of work too. One of our customers is planning to sell a premium version of their product that has their logo removed.
