I guess you could find thousands of those "analogies" both with advantages and disatvantages on the side you prefer more...

Someone commented earlier that this simple example isn't that far off from the truth. Regardless, the field of software architecture has a long way to go before we can claim the same level of professionalism as building architects. My team is doing some work in this area for Microsoft that we hope to announce soon. Stay tuned!

This is totally unrealistic! The requirements are written down.

This was funny.

I love particulary how a smimming pool is on the picture all a sudden, out of the blue, as a very important requirement.

The line that says "will have to sell it to someone else. [...] therefore should have appeal to a wide variety of potential buyers" is soooooo real. I've been in many projects where the customer demands that the system must be very flexible so that they can sell it to other people -- even though they didn't want to buy any of the existing tools on the market in the first place!

That was great.

Non functional requirements and building architects.

I like the PPS: lines; reminds me of another good one liner about clients: "They don't (can't) say what they mean and don't mean what they say"

What about
- Demo version building with 30 day licence?
- Service pack (new)building releases?
- Building Anti-virus security?
