This type of arbitrary crippling is another example of what Steve Jobs means he says that Microsoft has no taste. I know I would be a dissatisfied customer of such a product and my anger would lead me to Linux. We are now at the point in OS competition where taste matters, and it matters globally. Consumers in more impoverished countries don’t need to use whatever tasteless, ugly OS the philanthropists in Redmond give them.
