"In Lyon, France’s second-largest metropolitan area, a rebranding of the local bus system to come on line in late August offers the possibility of reworking the transit network so that it avoids many of these problems and improves service. Lyon already has high transit use, the region’s 1.76 million inhabitants using buses, trams, and the metro 1.24 million times a day. (Compare that to similar-sized U.S. regions Indianapolis and Charlotte, whose transit systems carry 30,000 and 83,000 passengers daily, respectively.)

"You can extend this reasoning indefinitely, to extremes of the spectrum. "

True. That is known as a reductio ad absurdum argument. Valid for logical and mathematical type arguments. Others, well not so much.

However, in this case there is a direct, causal link. Microsoft would not have gone far with their BASIC products. And they had nothing else.
