No way. Technological prowess isn't what sells computers, or gains market-share. Until Windows 95, most users and industry experts agreed that Mac was superior to Windows 3.1....that didn't stop them from going with Microsoft, though, as you can easily tell by simply looking at AAPL's 5-year stock chart (it's amazing what a stock price can tell you).

Boy do I have a lot to say on this issue. If I get time tomorrow, I'm going to go ballistic on this thread and respond to the posts from the last 2 weeks....

In short, though, the NC is destined for failure. However, zero-administration PCs (NetPCs) are going to flourish.
