Ah, but you're trying to apply common sense to an industry that clearly lacks both it and the ability to learn from the experience of others (think VHS vs. Betamax, or HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray)
Add to that the inanities going on in the US Congress and Wall Street right now, and you have to agree with the Arrogant Worms, don't you (
