And having too many options is what is killing these companies compared to Apple. Quite frankly people don't care that you have XYZ mobo processor or graphics card inside. They just want the dam thing to work. "Tyranny of Choice" at its bes

I've had this discussion hundreds of times with talented foreigners (India, German, Polish, and Chinese just to name a few). They all have had the same generic complain "why can't I just live in this country... I'm talented enough". I full
