I don't buy this inevitable future where the best software runs on the best hardware because that's obviously optimal. How many times has history played out that way vs large entities entrenched in their moat of hw, sw, or a mix?

I mean what's the closest that we have to a good example, maybe ARM hardware running Linux? What about mobile, we have Android Open Source Project which is a bit early to see what it will amount to. I still hope and wait, but wouldn't bet on it.
