I question the theory of r&d ->bankruptcy, most don't go under. Xerox not being Microsoft had nothing to do with r&d cost.
r&d is the cost of not falling behind. For smaller company a good work environment and motivated staff is important. The people do offhour research because they like stuff they are doing. They don't do it for the company, but they bring the skills and knowledge back to work.
Liking the work you do? Are you deranged?! What's next, fair compensation?!
