The average person is furious the computer just restarts by itself because of an update. You don't have relatives that use Windows? They have asked me to disable updates because of this
Yes but people mostly just let it do it's thing. Sure they lament about it, but switching to something unfamiliar is a far more larger leap than most are willing to take. Before the Neo, the cheapest Macbook is still at the same price or higher of a Windows equivalent and those who need a laptop instead of using a phone/tablet typically are people who are using it for work or to game. That's when they start to worry if the apps they use would work and that plus a thousand+ bucks then starts to become a huge friction to overcome.
