Re: Options
Upgrading often is not an option and the device drivers (often very specific to hardware and OS in these custom systems) need a rewrite - which the manufacturers are not going to do because they would much rather sell you a new system. The manufacturers like to keep shipping the old design as long as possible because the design costs are paid for and, when it finally becomes obvious that it's time to can it - EVERYONE has to buy a new system $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
