"ecosystem" in regards to computer software has got to be one of the worst analogies. It invokes all sort of mushy animistic preconceived notions from way back when, like the concept of divine harmony. I much preferred when people talked about software running on the Windows platform, or the mac platform, rather than propping them up with some sort of life-spirit.
