I see the point that bundling a lot of good software will make
life tuff on software developers, but I am still not sure that this
alone makes it such a bad idea.  One of the arguements I've often
had to use in IBM--Mac debates, where IBM has so much ``more''
software, is that you only need one good word processor, Spreadsheet,
etc. etc., not ten of each.
     
Which would you rather see?  1 million A500's at $800, all with
WordPerfect, Maxiplan, etc., or 300 thousand A500's, most of which
have no good software, and the rest of which have 10 different Word
Processors, etc?
     
Seems to me that the developers are better off if there are more machines.
