Yeah, I would agree with all that.
But like in the case of the AIO, when they supply software to do the same thing that could be done with nothing more than simple networking already in place, the needle on my chicanery meter starts twitching.
They all love to do that though. There’s always been good money in doing something the OS already does. Remember back in the DOS days there were half a dozen apps that did nothing more than tweak your config.sys and autoexec to use himem and free up space in the lower 640. None of them did anything that you couldn’t do in Edit for yourself, none of them even did it any better than a halfway experienced geek could, but the all made these products. And some of them made money at it. There’s always a market for a slightly better UI, or even a quicker to find but otherwise identical UI.
