Best Buy and Circuit City make far too much money from broken M$
machines that come back for service, a la virus/spyware elimination
nonsense, etc. When you look at the grand balance sheet of keeping up
an M$ machine, it just makes financial sense for these retail monsters
to keep churning the same manure they've always pimped out.
Besides, most people are a hybrid genetic strain of mushrooms and
sheep. Choice means nothing to them, even if it kills.
