What do you think about John Huber's prescient comments regarding Palm using networking stack?

" Palm will now use Wind River's TCP/IP networking stack to provide Internet connectivity features for Palm OS® handheld devices. I think this is an excellent example of the first force moving business to Wind, increasing complexity. I think there is little doubt that technically Palm could develop their own networking stack. However, they made the decision that it made more sense to buy Wind’s than to build their own. They can now focus on the usability features, and services that the connectivity brings, rather than on the details of whatever the latest networking protocols will be a year from now. If Palm, an OS company made this decision, how much easier must it be for a non OS company to come to the same conclusion."
