Just because most people are morons doesn't mean I have to be one,
too. Have you ever compared the image quality of a Betamax to VHS?
I didn't mind watching prerecorded content on VHS, but if I were
interested in quality, say, for the purpose of recording family
events, I sure as hell wouldn't be stupid enough to use VHS to do so.
Same with Winblows. I don't mind using it as a client, but no way in
hell I'd deploy it as a server.
By the way, believe it or not, the BetaMAX "market" is still alive,
albeit only among high-end users of video cassettes. A friend of
mine's father repairs BetaMAX recorders ****pped to him from all over
the world, and he is making $$$ hand over fist. Last time I saw his
entertainment room, he had 9 studio quality betamax recorders stacked
on each other, with a robotic assembly that fed the systems blank
tapes when the tapes in the recorders become full.
