Yet More from our good friend Israel:

In Part I, the author explains why he considers the whole release concept a myth. Like a set of nested Russian dolls, the duality of the term "release" often masks a deeper duality. You can view the end user as the primary target of a release or you can view the release as a vehicle for market development. Philosophical as this differentiation of the release might seem, it actually brings to the forefront essential questions about the nature of software and the nature of the market.
Part II of this series suggests that software that is alive and always evolving poses unique opportunities for custom-tailoring solutions directly from Research and Development. It also describes an effective way to distribute custom-tailored solutions, and it highlights partial disintermediation that transforms the traditional software value chain.
