Scott, this is the old model. The new model is to do a poor job and release "new versions" to fix some of the bugs.

this is why I finally left "corporate" and have not the least desire to return. I now do home repair.

For some reason this reminds me of a story, which goes like this: turns out there was an auto parts guy who decided, out of pure intellectual interest, to price out one of the cars being sold on a piece by piece basis. The car wound up being worth half a million dollars. The employee was fired summarily and instantly. Car dealers make nearly all their money in the shop, not selling new cars. Dilbert has a complete grip on this, and what's even more surprising, he's an engineer, not one of the marketing guys....
