Of course software is not dead, but nevertheless. I thought developers would be stars, very rich, with all the glory. But it doesn't work that way. Software sells and runs on awesome hardware.
For instance, Oracle sells databases on its servers, if possible. The site says "Oracle | Hardware and Software, Engineered to Work Together".
This may be one of the reasons why Linux is not popular on the Desktop.
