ROM(read only memory) is the place where the operating system is stored in the computer. == == Ok, it doesn't take Einstein to realise that ROM cannot be updated. So if you want the ability to upgrade an operating system, it can't be on ROM. Also consider disk costs v memory costs. Again, you do not need to be a Nobel Prize winner to figure it out.
