I dunno.  A lot of people seem to not like it much, even as they
keep on buying it.  The fact that they believe they have no alternative
seems to make at least some of them resent it more.

Sadly true.  Basically, they've come to think that computers are 
basically supposed to suck, and there isn't much they can do.  They
don't even know about the Mac. This is indeed a sad state of affairs.
