I was having a thought, but haven't really done the maths yet. I was thinking about some common use programs, like browse, analyze, edit, command etc. and I was thinking "wouldn't those programs just come with the OS? The OS is of course the System rating. Now I imagine that because they'd be loaded with the OS, they'd count as specially optimized programs, not counting towards the response limit.

It just seems like that with all these new rules for program degradation, and all the expensive program options, not to mention IC, Nexi, etc. that we want to buy, why bother with book-keeping on common use programs (excluding attack, armour and reality filter, of course)?

But like I said, I haven't done the maths. What does everyone think? Would it be a workable houserule, or is it exceptionally broken?
