True, in fact, I'd say that in some ways there is justification for pricing it less. Hardware is subject to incremental improvement in functionality and decreases in price over time. Every other technology good follows this pricing trend - why doesn't software? It's not as if each new release must be a complete rewrite from scratch - much existing code is modified and augmented. What is the justification for perpetually increasing the price of software? Could it just be greed?
