That's just a conspiracy theorist's perspective. It's too lateral to make
sense.
It reminds me of the fairly sarcastic suggestions that poor security is a
mechanism for selling OneCare and Internet Explorer is a tool that keeps the
'peons' (or the 'little people') ineffective at work. Ballard would argue
the same thing in relation to 64-bit architecture, though I think it makes
perfect sense. Behind every decision, a strategy (a bigger picture) exists.
Best wishes,
Roy
