And anyway, the OS was an example, it just goes downhill from there.agumonkey 12y agoCut that 10% in half because known baggage will trump unknown valuable capabilities.ivanca 12y agoThe problem is that we are talking about the kind of people that doesn't even know half the valuable capabilities of Windows XP.agumonkey 12y agoTrue, but that won't change the fact that anything better but different from that old XP will throw most users so off they won't even care.
