@monkbent Marginal simplicity doesn't seem to give you a strong marketing benefit. More radical simplicity (iOS) necessary. -
@naofumi I suspect you haven’t used a Chromebook extensively. -
@monkbent Few people have. I’m talking more about marketing though. The Mac-PC guy ads didn’t grow market share. Simplicity is a hard sell. -
@naofumi that may be true but it's not "marginally" simpler. It's dramatically so. Agree no one has sold it as such

@monkbent The low total-cost of ownership argument for Macs vs. PCs hinged on Macs being simpler. That didn't give Mac much market share.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
