Software maintenence in the industry has always been frequent for the most part. Most of those updates are more reactive, as patches and hot fixes. I was getting more to feature additions and enhancements.
12-18 months between feature releases is quite a period with regards to technology these days. How often have we all been on the upcoming release webinars for a product with this type of release schedule and think to ourselves, "Oh, finally". It seems the industry trend is headed towards a frequent release cycle. Cheers.
