That's not what I was saying.
"There are a lot of smart customers out there, including corporate customers that would like modular components so they could remove things they don't use."

Ok, fair enough.

"Also, even for a typical home customer, they would rather have less features and more security. They understand very well the effects of spyware and viruses."

I not sure if MS has any kind of monopolistic hold on these customers. In my opinion, it's easy enough to buy a Mac mini for $500 and not have to deal with viruses and spyware until the Mac user base becomes big enough to warrant attention. So, sticking to the scope of the article, I would say MS has to at least try to keep customers somewhat satisfied.
