There won't be X on the clients.  A retail shop will just wonder by, say
- oh that is what I need to start my shop, open their credit card for

along with third party billing information and ability...along with
a lot of other goodies.

No mess.  no contracts.  Quick and easy buying decision.

things like VNC.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt.  I guess you missed that one."
