> I do personally feel that the #1 application of FPGAs is to make short run and high-end hardware fantastically more expensive for business and government (+military) customers.
Not sure I understand. Take for example applications in communications where you need a real time signal processing. The alternatives (custom ASICs) are several orders more expensive. I would actually say the opposite, FPGAs make short-run, high-end affordable to others that are not government or large coperations.
