People somehow think that because they don't have to load an operating 
system onto a device that it's not just a computer running software.

Newsflash: your so-called "hardware router" is nothing more than a

embedded OS.  In many cases, the OS is even Linux - case in point, the 
extremely popular Linksys WRT54G line.
