I see at least a few software companies seeling these individually. Yes,
I know it sucks, but some companies are like this. I see Wolfram beeing
one of these companies for sure. I also think that a few companies will
charge more for the same software on the NRW, even though it cost them
little to nothing extra to support that platform (if and when it ever
appears) simply because it will run faster.
