Well, since everybody else is getting in to this...

My sources tell me that it isn't that Atari isn't trying to fix existing
bugs; they really are.  It's just that the philosphy of Tramiel's sons
(not Jack Tramiel; he apparently has little to do with the day to day
running of Atari) is that exactly one small product development and
support team is needed regardless of how many products are being
developed or are out on the market.

Thus as the number of "products" goes, the interval between product
releases and updates of current products gets longer and longer.

One anecdote: I know someone who visited Atari headquarters a while
ago (more than a year) to talk about some joint product development
and marketing.  He was told that he wouldn't be able to talk to
Landon Dyer and Allen Pratt on this trip because they were on a
tight schedule trying to get the Atari PC BIOS done.
