The typical corporatw market is a big one, but with every surburban computer store selling their own white boxes that's also a big truckload of machines
ditto at weekend computer markets which do a thriving business in these parts at least.
Dell make incompatible crap and most people know it. They also like being able to go back to the person who sold the machine and getting it fixed, not arseing about with shipping.
It's not like we've come to blows with the giant squid yet either.
Not to mention they neglect the possibility that life has been moving around the galazy for a long time in the star wars universe, so adapatation to unusual niches is vastly more likely than evolution in a hostile space.

First, I'll start with hacking into the Good Vibrations databases
And it's the need to act illegally which demonstrates the problem.
well that would be the punishment then.
you seem to be confusing "inalienable rights" with "rights"
well they haven't served the time as being listed on the register is part of their penalty.
As my female swedish friends say "We can't rape a volunteer".
Apple's airport express shouldn't be overlooked either.
cheap, easy wireless networking and it pipes your music to the stereo.
read snow crash or kaleidoscope century.
you're already networked and vulnerable. latency is only a partial defence.
"Let override, let overwrite"
your mileage is certainly varying.

A lot of offices are vendor locked
