    Because most business owners don’t want to go to the expense of hiring a dedicated IT guy to manage a bunch of computers that their staff don’t know how to operate.

    Most businesses already have a “dedicated IT guy to manage a bunch of computers that their staff don’t know how to operate.”

    And the computers are Windows!

    People have been using windows for 40 years and most still are not good at it.

    That will never change.



  • There are the “free” upgrades with the phone company.

    I saved my old Samsung so long that it became “worthless” for trade in value. So then I did need to buy a new phone. If I had traded it then I would not have any monthly bill for the hardware.

    It literally cost me more in the long-term to not trade in at 24 months.

    Also my work/corporate device must always be in the latest Android so they pay for upgrades every 2 years. It is mandatory for us to upgrade. I am sure we are not the only company doing this
