it's and endless money eating spiral - bah i wish they would use more money making functional working software instead. Look at apple / mac - because of a more or less single type platform you get rock steady performance and software crashes are almost non excisting. Now take the pc market - developers have to make their programs work on billions of different configurations - no wonder the shit crash sometimes. If a software firm build a program for one single machine like a Pentium 1 500 mhz - specifically build for that it would run faster than any High Performance $5000 pc you could buy today - scary thought eh
