Quote:As to the second, my frustration at the moment is with analysis and laws that are made that assume that a company is a going concern and hence the negative feedback will adequately police the market. (I.E. the ability to start a company, release a crap product, take the loot and shut up shop).

Yes. I think since software is not a very visable construction it can lend itself to scams. It is all too easy to produce a pile of garbage, market it as gold, then pack up shop and move on and do it all again. In the corporate software market you have the added problem of consolidation (like EA, or Computer Associates) who are constantly buying anything they can for the existing consumer (hostage) base. They then market it but stop any new development, and drastically reduce the support and maintenance until the product dies. Of all the industries I've worked within, the software construction business is the one filled with most evil lawsuit happy bastards that are ready to rip the still beating hearts from girl scouts or eat their own young to get ahead.
