Commodity (n): Undifferentiated goods characterized by a low profit margin, 
as distinguished from branded products.

Like gold, or oil, or soybeans. You don't really care which mining company 
found your gold, or which oil field your oil came from. Similarly, you don't 
really care *who* gave you your web server or emacs binary, because there 
are thousands of places to get the exact same thing, all for the same price.

However, there's only one place to get gmail, salesforce[1], or Amazon S3.

[1] Yes, I know they're bust.
