Crossing the Windows pain threshold
,----[ Quote ]
| When does one reach the tipping point, the point at which one will not rest
| until one changes operating systems? Or, to put it another way, what kind of
| pain threshold are Windows users willing to tolerate before they cry out to
| be rescued?

Broken Windows and the Ghost of Keynes
,----[ Quote ]
| Imagine the town baker's shop window is broken by an errant baseball throw. A
| unfortunate expense to the baker, one might say. But that is a narrow
| parochial view. Look instead at the benefit to the whole community. The
| window will cost $300 to replace. That money will go to the glazier who will
| then use his profits to buy a new sofa from the furniture store, who will
| then use his profits to buy a new bicycle for his child from the toy store,
| and so on. The money will continue to circulate in over-widening circles,
| bringing joy to all. The original loss of $300 by the baker will more than be
| made up for by the aggregate increase in the amount of goods and services
| exchanged in the town. Instead of punishing the little boy who broke the
| window, he should be raised up and praised as a Universal Benefactor and
| Economic Sage of the First Order.
