Diki 9% if the population 30 plus years later use APPLE!! Not a whole lot of screamers in 30 years. I guess there is no relevance to that. Major business chose MSOS when they could have either and still do.

People are scared,gullible and lazy. They just want to press a button and have it so. Apple was founded on that principle and still lives by it (see Ipod). They control their users with simplicity yet STILL they don't have a foot hold large enough for major software companies want to bother writing for or worse Apple has a grip on their code for more control.

Geek Squads are there for one reason. To make huge profits scaring gullible people into buying extended contracts convincing the PC is a scary and complicated machine. You are more than proof of that.

The biggest ripoff of the ignorant and scared easily American public in he past 20 years is the Extended Warranty.The profits from EWs alone paid for Circuit City's ENTIRE operating Margins in 2006 and half of Best Buys!!

Scary complicated PC....12 parts readily available assembled in an hour or so. You wonder how Michael Dell became what he became. He was putting these things together en mass in his garage. Now kids are realizing they can do what he did and building their own as well. Notebooks are the where the profit is now.
