Last time I checked, people buy Nokia phones because they're better 
designed than the competition. That's how it's supposed to work.

Nobody buys MS because they like it. They buy MS because there's nothing 
else on offer.

Still, there's nothing that anybody can do about it, so I guess we're 
just stuck with them forever now.
