Questions
1. If the wheels you buy do not fit on your car, who should you blame.
2. If your antenna won't work with your tv, who do you run to.
3. If the tape you bought refuses to work with your VCR, who do you run to.
The Answers (if you are reasonable)
1. Your wheel manufacturer. They should adhere to the standard
2. The guy who made the antenna. It should have a standard connection jack to your tv.
3. Your tape manufacturer. He should clearly say whether it is Betamax or not, and should also guarantee it works with whichever vcr.
My guess is MS screwed everything over. They have power to make hardware manufactureres only roduce for them, and leave the rest alone. Maybe someone should actually start a company that only sells computers built from fully standard compliant parts. And strongly advertise that. Or maybe I should rush to patent that idea.
