Oh, pshaw, royboy! You need to get a more useful model to work with.
Markets run on money and nothing else. Markets are defined by the money
that they generate in revenues. If someone does not have the do-re-mi to be
in the market, his needs and actions are not of any interest to the market.
People selling things like computers are interested in what people who have
enough money to buy a computer think, not in what some loser thinks. The
person buying a new computer will prefer Vista to XP, I am sure. I like it
better myself and I am hard to please.
