difficulty dominant high ibm looks similar stand switch tendency waiting
This looks a lot like 15 years ago, when IBM was dominant and similar surveys showed a high tendency to switch from IBM to another vendor. The difficulty is that we're still waiting for the right kind of vendor to stand up and come forward.
afford area average cost devices failure figured larger low nobody prone quite seem showing tend types
These devices are quite costly, and they are complex, so they tend to be prone to failure. So far, nobody has figured how to make them at a low enough cost so that the average person can afford one. They are showing up in mil-spec implementations and particularly in larger types of uses. It's in the small-system area that they seem to be having the most problems.
again broad build commodity cool cost create deal design designs dictates drives hardware hoping increasing incredible innovation intel interface largely limits microsoft products reasons rules tendency user
One of the things I'm hoping will come out of the Apple-Intel deal is a broad realization that incredible design is once again possible. Over the years the hardware OEMs have consistently used Intel and Microsoft as reasons they can't build really cool products.

behavior business concealing digital fact fair happened high house legitimate people seas similar walker
Walker Digital doesn't look like much more than an idea house that comes up with ideas, then sues people who come up with similar ones. I think that kind of behavior is very similar to what happened on the high seas with pirates. It's being done under the auspices of a legitimate business practice, but in fact it's concealing behavior that is anything but fair business practice.
