Necessity is the mother of all invention. People tend to get a bit lazy when they're on the top of the mountain. Why change if we don't need to ya know? I'm sure they'd innovate after a competitor showed up with something new and fancy.

«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

And to anyone with any life experience, most typical sayings as such have an element of truth. Just like humor. Otherwise they wouldn't be sayings. Now go forth and educate yourself young man and try again.

Just a guess...because technologies do not solve problems, people do.

That is often the case, but sometimes technologies must be created (yes, by people) so that other people can use those technologies to solve other problems, which were not solvable without the technology. I'm sure you can think of some examples.

Content, maybe?
That's what web-sites are for, after all.

This version includes all dev tools and is free. What is the good reason that we still have to buy other versions?

Because companies with at least 5 developers (Or something like that) aren't allowed to use the community edition.
It's for hobbyists and indies/startups.

As was already said, it's for indys / start ups, and it's a smart move by MS if you ask me... considering most people will develop apps for Windows with it.

Now that I've seen most of it, twice (eyelid difficulty first time, DVR/Satellite deficiency the second) I am now willing to go out on a limb and declare what movie...er film is the best...well, at least of those I've seen.
Metropolis!
I'll compare it with any other movie, film, piece of video tape ya got.
BTW, TCM's discussion of it exposed that Hollywood types are absolute morons. Making a link between the industrialist-in-charge and Adolf Hitler was all they could do. No understanding of the social upheaval, the conflict between industry and labor, the number of anti-capitalists (starting with Germany's chief negotiator, moving onto socialists and communists, and including the Dadaists) running around Germany seemed to be beyond their ability to understand.

They also fail to understand that reality isn't quite so black-and-white.

"It was in 1927!"

No doubt you had to watch that black and white reality TV by candle light, too.

AFAIK there's also a coloured version of Metropolis...

I think a person can be stupid, but a comment or opinion can be asinine.

You are correct. It was an event of massive and vast asininity.
At least I didn't use the adjective that makes me cringe, "dumb". Gaack! Every time I hear/see someone call something "dumb" I want to smack 'em a good one!
