<description><![CDATA[anon posted : <br>   Exactly. Why "upgrade" if your box works the way you want it to? This rush to upgrade mentality is marketing driven, just like it's speed for CPU's. Once you reach a saturation point with your app and the money train slows down, you make some minor tweak to something that wasn't broken to begin with and change the "feature set" around. Voila!! you have a "New", "Upgraded" app that you sell for another $150 and the money train starts rolling again because all the "Bleeding edge" dufuses rush out to get it. And you wonder why these companies think you're stupid sheeple to be fleeced?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ReVeLaTeD posted : A lot of companies hardcode their own apps.  When a SP comes out, 9 times out of 10 these apps break, because there's no way to patch those from Microsoft's standpoint.  The coder has to go back and recode for the new SP.  Since it's never known what will go into the next SP it's hard to anticipate.  Most companies don't want to invest resources in $70,000/year devs to go back and do an update to something that already works - why not just refuse to upgrade?<br><br>A poor response to the issue, but common.  My workplace is all about upgrading, but the problem is, they don't keep track of what they upgrade, so they spin their wheels and waste a LOT of company money in upgrading things that aren't broke.]]></description>
