Hi :) +1 It is difficult to explain to people. Perhaps try saying that although there is chocolate ice-cream, not all ice-cream is chocolate! Choice, diversity and market forces are often seen as a bad thing in computer markets! It is confusing to be given a choice! Hoever in almost anything else people would be outraged if their choice was restricted to a "one size fits all".
I think most people here, in these lists, are happier with diversity and the benefits it brings.
