There's probably some corruption in there as well. Management doesn't give a crap about the work function, and only one vendor is qualified to respond to the maintenance RFP. So some old-timer is probably making a mint "maintaining" the system.

You are totally right. I forgot to mention that they are locked in to Oracle and Microsoft. My job was to develop a C# based system, but they made me use VS 2005 Express (!@#$%), because they would not buy the latest version/license. That job taught me a lot about how not to treat your programmers.

  "Would not buy the latest version/license" is .. misleading. I don't want to offend you and cannot judge the motivations of your employer at that time, but .. You don't need a license to develop C#. Even if you _need_ VisualStudio (which you don't..), there's a free version available. Otherwise SharpDevelop/MonoDevelop (yes, the latter is available and applicable for Windows as well!) would've done the job. I'd probably have prefered to drop to a notepad/vim based setup before touching 2005 and looking at .Net 1.1/2.0 stuff again.
