Hmmmm, let's put every single father on the suspect list. You know, they have access to children, even german children, and they might even see them naked.
Whow, a CDROM to install an OS ??? are you crazy ????
We have always used floppy disks, there's enough space in there for a whole operating system.
Oh, wait, maybe that was BEFORE we started to use CD media, that means we can change the way we install Operating Systems. May be in the future we can use a DVD, who knows, it might work.
Nowadays you can not buy a hard disk with less than 100 Gb space. You can not fill this with firmware drivers, at least not in a couple of years. Then you will be buying HD with 500 Gb minimum.
Neither is the installation time, a 4 Ghz PC with SATA2 will not be bothered by 1 Gb of firmware drivers installation.
Ok, you might want to do an installation on a 1 Ghz PC with 40 Gb of space, this is because you are a geek and the market is not interested in you.

Ok. They get results.
... buying imported Playstations. You know, it is ilegal on some countries.
This works.
Why don't we use it to search for other crimes ?
Maybe
We give rights to robots while, at the same time, we take them from human beings. I love this planet.

How many drivers will you need on an embeded machine ?
Again, no real problem to worry about from manufacturer's point of view.
No. Space is never a big problem.

The huge difference is that PC is an standard while every nic may have big changes in it's architecture and it might not be backward compatible.
So every time a new nic model is sold the firmware must be rewritten, maybe from scratch.
We are lucky it was not Microsoft's Hotmail!
