I see the communications departments of large firms that still apply the "deadline & publish issue" print paradigm to their web projects, because that's the model they were forced into by tangible printing plates and newsletter postage costs. Even though they could now publish new info as soon as they really wanted to; the human system just isn't there yet.
For this thread: I wonder if the former tangibles that once restricted commerical software to major releases (not just stabilizing the code, but the cost to master and dupe all those CD's, print manuals and pack a warehouse full of glossy boxes, etc); is a legacy influence to which many large firms find too hard (or too scary) to change. If they could, we might find ourselves quite willing to pay $100 per month for continued access to support, monthly candidates & releases; instead of $2400 every two years for something with a new CF logo and whole number on it.
