Bundle Many Runtimes

I'd like to see hardware vendors (e.g. Dell Computer) include many language Run-Time-s in their bundles. After all, disk space is practically free these days, bandwidth is not.

Some candidate runtimes:

• Java

• Perl, Python, TCL

• REBOL, Squeak Smalltalk, Userland Frontier

• WxWindows and all its language bindings

• MetaKit; a lite single-user SQL engine.

The trick question: how handle Version Control? Once a machine's been out there a year, at least some of those runtimes will have been updated. And code written for the newer versions might not run on the old versions.
