joel: well, certainly any product has a level of 'cost' to produce anything within the environment of that product. However, there's really no accurate way to create a measurable cost that would be applicable to all people. Which is why it's so hard to use it as a point of argument (which is part of the point of this post).
Why is it a failure for a product to not be updated in five years? I'm sure there are plenty of products that weren't updated in 5 years. And to be honest, the product has been updated within the past 5 years. They just chose not to update any of the rendering engine within that time.
