Regardless if it is software or hardware displaylink makes money by selling to Kensington and other companies who then resell their technology. Consumers pay for the hardware, not the software. The only way to get OEMs like Kensington to put real pressure on displaylink to stop being so flat footed with updates (I'm not just talking about mavericks here) is to have a huge number of returns of these products. When Kensington and others see this they will pressure displaylink to be more responsive to customers needs with the threat of dropping their technology if they do not.
