I agree with everything you say there. I would never disagree about bundling anything including a TCP/IP stack. I disagree with making it part of the Operating System. There is a slight (important to me) distinction here. Windows for example has an inbuilt TCP/IP stack. I wouldn't expect software to be bundled (including TCP/IP stack), it is a bonus.
