It’s right for you if you want to devote a serious chunk of your life to your computer. If you want appliances that just plain work when you turn them on, get a Mac, an AppleTV, and some iThingies.
Or a television or VCR, for that matter. If I wanted to work with something that was guaranteed to work seamlessly all the time I can always re-publish those old plans for that multi- 486DX-4 motherboard (from one to 32 cpus supported) with the SiS chipset and demand that all peripheral manufacturors adhere to those standards if they want to claim full compatibility and the company logo to bless their products.
