I was listening to a radio program on NPR the other day where they
talked about the problem with setting standards.
The new HD TV's have only 3 times as much resolution as the old
standard SDTV. Not much progress is there.
When you set some standards innovation seems to lag.
People are designing and building well designed and radically designed PC's.
One of my members has even designed and built a water resistant self
contained with Battery Back up PC for use on Oil Rigs.

Given the same environment, I don't think you can significantly keep
developing something indefinitely. Eventually, ingenuity and
options have run their course.
Quill pens were replaced by pencils and pens ... they didn't keep
experimenting with new types of quills...
horse and carriage by cars and trucks
sulpha drugs by other antibiotics
At some point a design should and does mature for good reason.
It's exciting (and difficult) when the dev curve is steep but when
it flattens out again, you've got a damned good item.

That is why OS's need to and will eventually get over their
proprietaryness and look and work essentially the same.
Is homogenization really a Good Thing? Doesn't leave much room for
innovation.
