Another one along that line that I've seen over and over: "smart" hardware vs. "dumb" hardware. Back in the days of analog modems, we had ones that were built on dedicated modem hardware, and the "Winmodems" that were basically just a DAC and an ADC. Or, the smart laser printers with built in PostScript interpreters vs. dumb printers where everything gets done in the driver.
