    But do they have to set jumpers on the motherboard to choose the processor voltage?

      And make sure the IRQs on their sound card and printer don’t conflict ?

        They probably never will.

        I don’t think that’s a bad thing. We made it easier, and they’re reaping the benefits of our work.

        The only issue I see is that when it breaks, nobody will know how to fix it, since we’ve abstracted all the complexity away from the users, so they don’t understand the underlying processes that need to work for the thing to function.

        Other than that, it just works.
