That is if boxes maintain their independence in the years to come. If however computers are all linked and there is a pervasive enough system in place that scenario could be possible. Such as an embedded backdoor in OS required by government powers. Systems that aren't could be made illegal for any number of reasons. DRM being a perfect candidate. Any OS without strict DRM provisions could be a potential candidate for violation of IP laws and therefore outlawed. Should I go on?
