Brad,

>1.  Besides the fact that it's the "norm", what reasons are
>given for the need to price software on a tierred level?

To make it affordable to a wider range of customers.  If priced uniformly, the
averaged cost would be cost prohibitive for the small guy.

>2.  Does the software for a larger machine require more
>coding, support etc. to make up for the difference?

Depends on the product, but it is not unreasonable to expect more support issues
with 1000 concurrent users than with 10.

>3.  What other industries tier their pricing for the SAME
>product?  (ie gas costs the same for a ferrari and a tempo).

Try government taxation. :)  If the business makes more money, Uncle Scam wants
a bigger share.  Same with King Louie.

BTW, gas *does* cost more for my Northstar engine than for a Ford Tempo...
