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

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