I'm guessing, for example, if you use "bleeding edge desktop technology", you'll run into issues with stuff like this constantly because the focus is on flash, not stability. I was really into stuff like that probably 10 years ago, and it was a major headache to keep it up. It's nice that the retail products have dedicated teams to keep stuff tighter, but they needlessly change things way too often. If I'm going to be stuck with other peoples choices anyway, I'd rather choose the team dedicated to changing as little as possible and adding things only when proven to be actually useful.
