Popular press puffery. There are people looking

Fortunately, my work laptop is a Macbook Air, but that's not an actual
solution for the problem of anti-sustainable product churn. -- Ian
While the above situation is true, it's not like "vendor lock-in" is
some sort of new phenomenon that is only due to Microsoft.
