Yes indeed, I have learned there is a big difference in "free download" and "free program to download". Of course having been in the advertising business for so many years I am well versed in the semantics of such things. Often it is more important what is not said than what is.
Like this: "People who switched from our Zeppelin crash insurance policy from 'their' Blimp crash insurance policy saved an average of two years pay." OK, I'm sure they can prove it too.
