Which Is The Most Expensive Software ?

[rEdshiFt 1]

Just out of curiosity Which is the most expensive software?

(i dont mean progs they only run in nasa or something similar).

'Software' can be either as a single product or as a full bundle

here's one to start - Priced at $10,530, SolarWind's Orion Network Performance Monitor SLX Edition is a Broadband Performance Monitor.

Looks like there are names like houdini, Catia and Pro-E which are ALTOGETHER a different league than our 'costly' photoshops and nortons.

keep them coming

There are lots of specialised software that costs much much more. You wont get their price lists anywhere. Specialised engineering/cad software, plm stuff etc can run into (Rs.) 50-60 lakhs or more per module!

[StaticElectricity 8]

one that i know of is Keil C compiler for uP's and the like, dunno the exact dollar value, but to the tune of 10-15 k dollars.

but i really dont think that at rimweb we need topics like these...

which is the most expensive software is what we see today...

tomorrow, maybe we'll see something like... which is the best underwear ?

i really dont think so..

i could've closed the thread altogether , but i guess you all should judge for yourselves.

Weird topic But just lemme share... Autodesk makes softwares for the gaming and animation industry. Movies like King Kong or Spiderman are products of their high end softwares. Their prices run into crores!

and to chip up things.... I might develop a small calculator app, and sell it at a few more crores... and post here that it is the worlds costliest software

... which is the best underwear ?

I thought "deeply" on this question ... since the correct answer to this question is *vital* to our personal comfort.

I hope you all realize that that underwear plays a MORE important part in our life than a MOBILE PHONE.

(or even an unrelated expensive software).

Moot questions for discussion:

1. What are the parameters on which we could evaluate the *goodness* of an underwear?

2. What is the highest level achieved by any actually available underwear (on each of the parameters identified in 1)?

3. How could we define a composite metric (incorporating all the data on parameters identified, appropriately weighted), to arrive at the *BEST* underwear?

For the record, Reliance uses a CRM called Clarify.

Reliance had bought the source code of it, for $ 3 Million, from Nortel.

Now Clarify is bought by Ominidocs.

And it was reenginered and programmed, with New modules, as to suit its own (reliance) need.

Linux is the most expensive software! Though, it comes free to the end user who wishes to download it but the amount of developers working on it, the amount of resources spent on it (man hours, power, servers etc...) is phenomenal!

I was just kidding...
