Considering how the PC was designed in the first place, so what?
I'm thankful that they waited until the last minute to slap it together from off-the-shelf parts and write a BIOS. Open architecture is fantastic. But since they ha no OS or software, they handed Gates the keys to the kingdom. At least twice. That bit could have gone better.
I wish media types would quit saying, or quoting others, that the PC is dead. Eventually, vendors will probably be fooled by this, and stop producing PC or the parts for them, and that will be a dark day indeed.
