Well, if you want to apply the inverse of the analogy literally, everyone would still be using the command line, or, at best, ncurses-style applications.

- raganwald 15y agoIf I were to apply the analogy literally, I would suggest most people would upgrade happily for the first few years after first using an OS, then their tolerance for change would decline, just as it often does with houses. They won’t embrace a major change unless their own circumstances undergo a similar change, such as having their children leave for college. Or in computers, such as buying a tablet where before they only used a laptop.
- chadgeidel 15y agoOf course you are correct. I love change and "new stuff" because I'm a geek and that's what I do. My parents (or - even my younger brother who just wants things to work) not so much.
