I can see perhaps selling OS's on Rom Chips that were inserted into slots on the Motherboard, but even that would be hideously complicated compared to the approach we have currently.

I see where you're coming from viewing it as a step backwards, but I'm afraid I just don't agree that it is. I think we're better off with the OS approach we have now.
Just imagine when someone finds out all those ROM chips have a bug in the OS burned to them. Nice but not quite practical. Os's today have to interact with user specs and software to be installed. And sometimes you have to be able to configure an OS to a slower smaller machine.

But it would be great to have a 5 second bootup. With all the junk I have it takes about 6 minutes to fire on.
