"One problem with the services model is that it is based on the idea that you are giving customers crap--because if you give them software that works, what is the point of service?" McVoy says.
So, why did it cost him $500,000 per year to support Linux users? Is he saying his software is crap too?
I was reminded more of Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky, where a group called the Emergents forces people to concentrate on a single task to the exclusion of all others via drugs, a process they call "Focus". The book also has interesting nanospecks that are a combination of RFID and distributed processing. Check it out.

"I don't see the toilet analyzing urine and your toothbrush analyzing saliva, but they are neat ideas."
Maybe they could just beam the info to Obi-Wan for further analysis, including midichlorian count!
