I should have guessed that my question would be confusing as phrased.
Sorry - I'll try again:-
What I meant to ask was "Interesting, do you not think, that more and more
companies WHO ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING COMPUTERS (TO THE GENERAL
PUBLIC IN PARTICULAR) are finding it viable/desirable/optimal to do as you
describe?"
I can't imagine that they are doing it from religious fervour. They must be
seeing this course as a viable (or optimal) business strategy.
Your points still stand, of course.
Bill
