Trivializing making bad software that is slower on devices orders of magnitude faster by trying to equate it to netbook prices is a particularly bad methodology of comparison.

This is especially true as people are promoting everyone moving to a platform that is substantially worse.

How about getting more performance and battery life out of the same machine which effects more than netbook users.

I am not trivializing anything. I don't like bad software any more than you. However.

You may have noticed that we are in the technology industry. That means the final measure of our work is economic. The final judges of our work are our customers.

If you believe that X is better in our industry, you must be able to demonstrate that betterness in terms of user economics, in terms of user experience. You haven't yet, and you seem unwilling to even grapple with my argument in those terms. Are you planning on trying?
