What a waste of time. Write yourself a free downloadable game on windows. 1,000,000 downloads, of which 90% have some anti-spyware/virus/firewall thing. That gives you 100,000 x your $500.

And the programming would take a lot less time as well.

The NiTs I would put as so far under the radar it wouldn't be worth the overhead of programming for them.
