    Is this a likelihood as well? And if the consumer specifies the software she will use on the device, she could buy a customized machine with regular software upgrades and, say yearly, a new machine. The vendor sends a new machine at that time, complete with the latest versions of the software specified by the purchaser already installed. She transfers the data to the new machine and wipes it from the old machine (if that's not already done by the vendor), then puts the old machine into the box the new machine came in and sends it back where the materials are recycled. Maybe not but it looks like we're headed to something like it..
