I call them brilliant idiots. Very smart in some ways but rather clueless in others. Funny thing is, 25 years ago, working with rocket scientists (they designed rocket motors for NASA and DoD), saw same thing. PC Load Letter totally flummoxed them.
Exactly! Apple just comes up with pretty boxes that sheeple like to buy so they can show off at home on coffee table.

I know a lot of them think we have magic wands we can wave and make x, y, and z happen.

Maybe windows needs to start making its own hardware?

Just look at the source code, comment out what you don't like and compile.
