Yeah I was going to say that but I definitely don't think it would have stayed in the market this long if the CEO was a product person rather than ops.

I mean I'm not trying to downplay how huge it would be to dump that design early, they have an insane amount of machinery and production line set up which they expect to get a few years of usage out of and at the end of the day only the CEO can make a call on if its important enough to go back and retool early and your Ballmers, your Tim Cooks are just never going to make that trade off.

An ops person isn't going to lose any sleep over the MacBook line being downgraded from a great product to an ok product.
