As Voltaire said, "Better is the enemy of good." (He also said "A witty 
saying proves nothing.", but we'll ignore that for now!) My point is 
that in business, there's no "right way". If a less than perfect design 
meets the requirements, then that's often good enough. Especially if you 
can get to market before your competitor. Especially if you want your 
product to be more affordable than your competitor's gold-plated 
product. We've all seen that numerous times in various different product 
domains, not just in the field of computer programming.

Couldn't resist saying this, but I'm guess that's how Microsoft got to 
where they are today.
