I think that there's also a resistance in many workplaces to accept Macs. In my current contract (at a large multinational) the IT guys won't allow Macs on the network, only because they don't know how to manage them. Having said that, I can't see them moving from Windows 7 for many years to come either.
Because a lot of us have used PC's for a long time, we're comfortable with them. Many people don't like to move from their comfort zone. To take your car example, I wouldn't say that Macs are like Lamborghini's - they're more like Audis. The trouble is we're all used to driving around in Citroens. Cheap and cheerful but expect to have to fiddle with them (a lot) to keep them running smoothly!

'Citroens' made me thinking: if I ever had seen any of 'em IRL...

I had a brand new C3 in 2006, had nothing but trouble with it from two weeks in. Owned a Peugeot and a Renault in the past, all had electrical problems.
I tend to stay away from French cars these days

Installed for me on the second attempt - the first failed with a cryptic HRESULT error.
You could always try Microsoft's tool[^] to create your own installation media.

LOL. Exactly!
I guess I'm lucky anyway, though: Every time it has failed, it has been able to successfully roll back to Win 8.1 (for what it's worth).
A friend of mine was less fortunate. He got Win 10 installed, but after the install, explorer.exe didn't work, so no desktop, no taskbar, no start button etc.
But at least Powershell worked, so who needs explorer?

Just watched Face Off again.
Can't seem to figure out...
Who's the villain?
Cage? or Travolta?

Let me try to get a grasp of this: You watched Face Off before? And now you watched it again?
WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYBODY DO THAT??????

It's an awesome movie.
Made before Cage fell off his rocker.
That and "Gone In 60 Seconds"
@RyanDev
Glad to see someone shares my curious sentiments

To see Nicholas Cage in a movie?

Ah yes, that makes sense.
So who's Castor Troy?
Cage or Travolta?
