I think you underestimate who spends money on computers. People start buying
computers to do multimedia and end up being told they can't record this or
something plays like crap they'll return the system as defective and look for
something that will do what they want.

Either that or computers won't be used for multimedia, and people will go buy
dedicated linux based devices. Either way if it's unusable people won't pay for
it.
