Not stupid at all, of course. I also believe that this *is* the way people
are, and is one of the reasons that RT will have such a battle in gaining
mindshare. As in a game of chess, the strategic use of resources is the
name of the game: 1) focus on current technologies and paradigms and build
to the future, or 2) leap frog the current technologies and paradigms and
create the future now. What is the right answer?
As a greedy consumer, I want it all, I want it now, and I want it free! But
that is not the way it really works. Everything comes at a price. I truly
wish RT the best of luck in this game of strategy. I'm glad I'm not having
to make the hard descisions!
