Yeah, I know what you mean actually. It's always difficult to know how many man hours go into something. The company I work for paid out somewhere in the region of a £500,000 for some software that would probably take a team of five or so developers less than 6 months, and there's load of business software out there that goes for a grand a licence. It's mostly good/ workable stuff, but you wonder if people only pay this money because only a handful of companies make the software. I suppose that's the open-source argument, free markets and all that. I think now, certainly with things like recording software, there's definitely a lot of scope for prices coming down with more people making it.
