I'm not
saying this is a GOOD thing (this is one of the reasons I'm
at the Museum and not a start-up) it is just the way products are
built today.
I'll say its a good thing, otherwise a PC with an operating
system
would still cost $10K, instead of $300.
There are at least two PC operating systems that cost $0 and work
perfectly well on hardware that's available for $0 because the latest
bloatware no logner runs tolerably on it. More, if you draw finer
distinctions (like between FreeBSD and OpenBSD, or between Fedora and
Slackware).
