I'll add yet another one:

CRIPPLEWARE: Software intended for demonstration purposes.  This type
             of demonstration software can be characterized by disabled

             enough to "wet the appetite", forcing you to spend lots
             of money for the disabled functions.

I'll add another one:

SHOVELWARE: Bloatware that was vaporware disguised as software that is
           shipped on CDROMS and typically carries a title such as
           "1001 of the Greates Action Games Ever by Richard Scary"
