It's not dumb, it's unbelievable! How many people have monitors capable of supporting 1600x1200? Not many I'd bet. How many people buying a £150 PC have a 1600x1200 capable monitor? None I'd guess... I've never seen Dapper select that default resolution... So I'd bet that the original machine they installed was strapped to nice 21" LCD monitor... it all worked fine and no one gave it another thought as they ghosted it to 10,000 more machines... How many of the 10,000 new owners will scratch their heads and then install a pirate copy of XP, or, even worse, take the box back to Tesco and say it doesn't work. I'd guess that if 10% of them go back, Tesco won't be stocking any more of them in the future... Another fantastic opportunity trashed, by a single idiot who didn't think about the target audience...
