Or they are forced to buy new to 'keep up with the Joneses'. Not a good place to be. I remember 'slow down' programs when the higher speed 386s were released so that the program would not run stupidly fast.
However, I believe that being a 'sheeple' is not the way to go. Sure Windows7 has some whiz-bang stuff in it, but I've been enjoying the same things with a Mac for years. The only thing that Linux has to overcome is people's fear that they will loose essential functionality by switching from Windows to Linux. I don't see this unless they are (stupidly) Access addicts and that is being addressed as well. So, on with Linux.
