Do you think most people care about this? If it did we would have a completely open architecture by now with lots of products already on shelves. But we don't, because nobody cares.
- mrmondo 9y agoI care about this, my colleagues care about this.
- FussyZeus 9y agoGP's point is that the vast majority of people do not. Heck, the vast majority of tech-inclined people I know don't. And the uninitiated? I'd imagine the only people who care about this outside of IT are the sort who prep armored and spiked vehicles full of canned food. I'm not trying to deride, just saying, most people do not care about this.
