I think I've used the same argument, but there is a difference between
software and couches. Most software companies come out with new releases
and fixes for problems. I don't recall a furniture vendor coming out with a
new release of their couch, and then giving it to you.

The MIPS pricing model is terrible - it's just the best model we had. I
used
to give the example that you buy a couch for $500. Several years later you
add a new bedroom onto your house - and the furniture store calls you up
and
says that now that your house has more square feet, you owe them another
$100 for the couch.
