Driver Station 2010 - Netbook?

[Paul Copioli]

.... Or how about a company who already solved the USB hub problem without the need of an ooperating system make the driver station next year ...

I think many of us put too much stock in COTS solutions. How about those orbit balls? A solution from a supplier that has a vested interest in the success of its customers has always proven to be a better approach. In my real job, the suppliers that give us the most troubles are the suppliers that are larger than us and provide a COTS solution for our needs. Often times I find that an angineered solution for our problem is much less expensive and more reliable.
