"One of the really big advantages of using software someone else writes (rather than writing your own) is that someone else takes care of the tool upgrades for you. Each time we plan for a new version of Market Drive, we have to decide which tools should be upgraded now, and which should wait. Upgrading tools can be very time consuming and costly, so we have to choose carefully. Below are some tools and technologies that are due for upgrades."

yeah. fuck you and your proprietary shit asshole. man... it means instead we have to fucking rely on you for any enhancements. what the fuck ever. and you're company sucks ass anyways, with shitty products and a reliance on other proprietary shit, AND fucking shitty as customer service.
