I disagree. Perhaps many people have no idea at all how much work
is involved in getting an application "on the shelves". After the
application has been designed (yes, sometimes this still happens)
and written, it will take many MONTHS more to get the thing documented
(user guide) and manufactured. So, at the moment something is shown
it may already be finished and is certainly NOT wishware any more.
