When Hewlett Packard(tm) actually sunk so low as to design and sell a "printer", that is not a PRINTER at all, but an electromechanical extension of the "Windows(r)" Operating System, I knew the end was near.
It is only a matter of time before there will be no more PC/AT Clones. We are now approaching the time where future "computers" will be electomechanical extensions of the "Windows(r)" Operating System.
Money is power. Whether or not "Windows(r)" is a defective Operating System makes no difference at all. Mr Gates. has defined the new era of "computers" to be extensions of his (defective) operating systems(s) and that-is-that. Mr. Gates has a larger legal department than General Motors (last years INC rag).
Note that there are even "Gates" extensions encorporated into new hardware chip-sets and even new BIOSs announce "Locating the boot- loader..." when they start to boot. Eventually, if the boot-loader isn't "Windows(r)", the machine will not boot (period).
This is not a conspiracy. This is simply the future being planned by PC Hardware manufacturers with the open involvement of Mr. Gates.
