To be honest there's a lot more that factors in when you're buying a computer for business. It's not just the CPU and GPU that come with it, there's a plethora of other factors that may be important to the buyer, such as

Just fyi, this is exactly the type of situation they hope to induce and, to be quite honest, I would happily do the same, even if only to avoid the hassle.

Odd, I've been making releases of my product at least twice a month for the last year, and it's been increasing steadily lately too. I always thought it was a good thing?
