Concrete example: your favourite Linux distro is an engine, not a car; a component not an experience. A MacBook is a car; an experience.

To take it further: your favourite Linux distribution is an *excellent* engine but only enthusiasts install their own engines in their cars.
-
… Everyone else walks into a dealer and buys a car. Now if that car’s an Apple, they can’t get to the engine even if they wanted to …
-
… So our greatest challenge is how to design beautiful, convenient cars for everyone where you *can* get to the engine *if you want to*.
-
… In other words (a) we must be design-led and (b) we must design beautiful defaults.
-
Today in free & open, we say “everyone should learn how to install an engine & build their own car.” If we can’t change this, we’ve lost.
