Vanilla
Any hardware device or software program that only has the default manufacturer or developers specifications and no add-ons or changes. For example, when referring to a vanilla hardware device, a vanilla video card could refer to a nVidia video card and a non-vanilla video card could be a video card with a nVidia chipset but manufactured from a third-party video card. When referring to software, vanilla could refer to a vanilla version of the Microsoft Windows operating system and not the version of Microsoft Windows packaged with a OEM computer.
