How very true!  So why did the Yugo of operating systems prevail?  The frustrating truth is that consumers simply have a long running love affair with mediocrity.  Windows is dominant for the same reason the Ford Escort was the #1 selling car in the world for so many years: advertising, nothing else.

Thanks for the link.  Pretty obvious stuff, but it's nice to see this stuff being written up.

If we can believe testimonials posted online, M$ have never gotten the design process right.  Designs start with 'features'.  Pahh!  Great way to make bundles of cash, but daft engineering.
