Acts of greed is more like it. Greedy management that forces the prototype to be issued as the final version, and that refuses to spend any real money on fixes as opposed to features. Greedy users who will only spend real money on features as opposed to stability releases. Greedy programmers who take the easy way out, rather than working harder, taking more time, but doing a quality job. There's more than enough blame to go around. -- Charles B.
