We should have seen this coming when candidate Bush was described as "incurious" during the 2000 election season. There's a fine line between incurious and ignorant. Six years later we know what side of it Bush is on.
His supporters would defend a child molester if he had a Republican affiliation. Oh, wait...
Kinda dumb. XBox is a toy. Those other things are life-critical products. Somehow a crashed video game doesn't rise to the level of wings falling off airplanes.
TiVo is not the desktop. Give a non-geek a pc and they'll find the cracks, guaranteed. TiVo's simple UI keeps the user away from the guts. Not so on the desktop.
Come on, Apple has had innovative products throughout the past couple decades. They still toil with low market share. So great products aren't the whole story.
Strange how El Stevo can't seem to match his marketting to his products. That's the reason Thurrott criticizes Apple.
Neither of us know that. The point is, damned if they do, damned if they don't. When you have both sides of an argument angry at you, you're probably doing something right.
Funny how people complain (above) about having to buy a separate product to enhance Windows, AND complain about Microsoft crushing the little guy when they bundle similar utility programs with the o/s.

"Appliance operator" == non-techie users who operate their machine as they would a toaster. On, off, on, crash.

Um, handhelds are not the desktop. I wrote "desktop."
Ha! Good one. What is the Linux market share on the desktop, again?
just imagine what'll happen if Linux actually makes a dent in the non-geek desktop market, and widespread use by "appliance operators" ensues.
