That's a lot of words to sum up "people are tired of dealing with crap". For many people a PC is now at the same technical level as a microwave - so the expectations for "just works" are much higher than they were in the past.

Looks to me a lot like the articles are being written by AAPL investors. From another board. Who briefly inhabited our very own board. And then got their own. And then decided that wasn't enough.

'Nother Yazoo migration, in other words. We had our own shot, once upon. Louis took it. So did Paper and jr, peace be upon them.

I mighta written such stuff, if five years ago was yesterday.

Good on 'em, anyway.

FWIW, I think the excerpt you cited is ... questionable:
