I've always wondered why some companies want you to register when you install their programs. Personally, I just find it annoying and decline, but what do companies have to gain by having their users get registred? They claim that you get the latest updates and stuff, but often you get that anyway without having to register.So what's the deal with this registering? I just don't see that point.
Why do companies want you to register with their program?

Marketing Database & Upsell. I can think of no other good reason. They know how many users they sell the product to, or how many times it's been downloaded.If there's an update - well, either the program will have an update program built in, or you'll find it on their website when you get a problem.Critical Bug notification? Maybe...but to be honest, see above.
