You know when hi-def TV was ready to rollout? Try 25 years ago. Old habits are very hard to break, for many reasons. Heck, I'm typing this on a QWERTY keyboard developed just after the typewriter was invented to slow-down human fingers that were able to move faster than the mechanical parts could fly. It is still the standard. 99% of those tired of PC/Windows flaws will (as I have) migrate to Apple which (judging by the iphone) has all sorts of user-friendly products in the pipeline. ]]>Aug 9th 2007 9:16AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/08/are-you-ready-to-ditch-windows/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/08/are-you-ready-to-ditch-windows/ Fine with most what you say but please don't propagate rumors/urban legends. The QWERTY lay out was not designed to slow typist down. It was designed so that letters which were normally typed together were spread out so they wouldn't bind and thus SPEED up typing.

BTW - Nippon developed HiDef in 1969]]>Nov 13th 2007 7:15AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/08/are-you-ready-to-ditch-windows/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/08/are-you-ready-to-ditch-windows/Nov 13th 2007 9:38AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/08/are-you-ready-to-ditch-windows/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/08/are-you-ready-to-ditch-windows/Feb 4th 2008 4:30PM
