<If you're thinking economies-of-scale, it doesn't apply to software because manufacturing costs are next to zero anyway (it does apply to computer hardware, of course).>

Not that I will willingly agree with Norm, but economies of scale do have a lot to do with software. R&D and marketing costs (and because of the N.o.I.S.E.y cry babies, lobbying expenses:-) can be spread over a wider base, therefore enabling more efficient and profitable operations.
