To speak in a tautology, the vast majority of those users running Office
2001 already have Office 2001 and thus are unlikely to buy it. ;-)


Less obliquely, what compelling features could be added to Office 2001 that
would force users to upgrade?  Office already does 282% of what any typical
user needs.  Making it do 285% is only going to result in a small number of
additional purchases.

At the moment, software development is a question of market segmentation and
diminishing returns.
