My Home About Me

Well Stats Canada thinks so:

The Commercial Software Price Index (CSPI) is a monthly series measuring the change in the purchase price of pre-packaged software typically bought by businesses and governments. The CSPI for December was 68.2 (2001=100), an increase of 0.3% from November.

Now this is only from the government or business point of view, so it isn't the start of some great inflationary software spiral (I hope). What's more interesting is that software has effectively dropped in price 32% over 6 years? Now that is a discount rate I'd love to see in things like house prices and such, but I guess that is really smoking the crack to think that.

Why am I writing about this? I work in the software world my friends and this always interests me, and I also use a lot of software in my day to day life and speaking as a Minuscule Business Person, I am not happy to read this either. --C8j
