It's not a good analogy. Drugs don't time a long time to ship because it
takes time to improve them. They take a long time to ship because of all
the multiple levels of safety testing that have to happen. (Speaking as
somebody who works for a company in that line of business...)
I don't disagree that it takes time and money to build better software.
I'm just saying this isn't a good analogy. ;-)
