So, the straw that broke the camels back was woeful Nvidia Optimus. To look at things another way, hardware vendors (Lenovo included) build and test their systems for Windows because 95%+ of their customers will only ever run Windows. If yo

That's a pretty bang on analysis. Spotify, like netflix, seem to 'get it'. They offer a 'listen to as much as you want' plan for a flat monthly fee. I'm sure their biggest achievement to date is convincing the music labels that this is a go
