Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software is creating both fear and excitement in the Information Technology (IT) community. Rapid system development and reduced costs are the upside to using COTS software. A lack of maintainability, as well as the potential for common vulnerabilities in packages such as operating systems and browsers, are the main drawbacks. This position paper looks at how access to COTS software is radically changing the manner by which industry develops systems as well as changing how those systems may someday be maintained.
