The answer to that question is "yes". In my experience what is it uncommon is to find a truly competent IT organization. And normaly the biggest it is the worse the problems are. But, what could you expect in an age where your IT group is composed with the cheapest guys you could hire with no experienced (and more costly) ones?. Or what about the clueless IT managers with little or no experience on IT?. They can't plan against what they don't know.
Yeah, as a colleague told me not long ago, IT life is nowadays like war: long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.
Stop punching and think this kind of people do a great service to us. If those "punters" doesn't exist, surely the most powerful card you could buy today will be a S3 Virge 3D. Companies go ahead with new innovations because they know there will be always people spending insane amounts of money just to have the "greatest" and the "latest". Or you really think companies will develop a product as fast knowing they couldn't market it until it could be affordable to the mainstream?
So don't punch them and think instead they are subsiding your next great video card;-)

Wow! I want one of those devices!

you'll have a non working game because Ubisoft will bother to have that old crap running longer or even Ubisoft could not exists anymore. No thanks.
we will be still waiting for DNF!
well, if DRM is one of those "features" it lacks, I'll consider it. Kindle 2 is nice, but its draconian DRM it is a big no no for me.
it is like Microsoft paying you for using Vista...oh! wait
Oh the irony! The master blamed of copying his most brilliant student ways. Who do you think taught Microsoft to behave like that?
Nielsen Media Research to be exact
