Bundling

“Bundling in the computer industry is a practice by which a computer manufacturer charges a single price for the hardware and software, and other services provided, along with the sale of the computer system. Included in the single price is the hardware, all software that has been developed, future supportive systems, education services, and, to varying degrees, all future developments in software. This has been the practice in the computer industry since its inception, when there was little software available.”
