Stagnation not Innovation.
Why hire a programmer to implement a well understood design pattern solution to your information processing needs when you can pay yearly for software that doesn't yet fully work (but version 2.0 will fix these bugs / implement those features) ?
Many Software Patents though not yet legal have already been granted in the U.K. Why?
Britain should pay software taxes to the U.S. for the right to operate all our machines and access our data. Ridiculous? It already works this way my friend.
