This is hilarious, and exactly what you get when there is no forethought to product longevity. What if in 10 years the economy is still shit, the cloud is unfeasible, and the WRT54g from 2002 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series is still working? Just about as bad as Diablo 3.
Cisco is scared, because for most people there is not a need to upgrade your router every 2-4 years. Router oses generally suck less than windows. Internet is not even >25mbit/sec in most places in the USA.
My WRT54G is still going strong. I run the `tomato` firmware on it, and haven't had to mess with the configuration in years. If only the rest of my hardware could be as reliable.
