But you want to :)
And there is a difference, I think. (And I will note that I don't use
Turbine, so my understanding of it is from afar.)
The difference is that Velocity, to me, is meant to be a tool that you
use as part of an application, where Turbine, as I understand it, *is*
in many ways your application. From where I see it, people tend to
immerse themselves deeper into Turbine, become more involved.
In the commercial world, maybe that's why smaller apps (like Quicken)
succeed with / need version to version differentiantion, whereas
Microsft can get away with 4 years of 'NT4', and just incrementally
'service pack' their way to the next 'revnue cycle'.
(And no, I didn't just equate Turbine and Windows NT :D )

Velocity : it's not just a good idea. It should be the law.
