Interesting choice of quote, given that it was Ford's refusal to give his customers choices that caused their market share to fall from 65% to 15%. I wonder if we would have seen a similar effect in Microsoft's case.

Who knows, its quite possible...but all we can do now is have pointless banter about it.

No chance of revolution or massive marketshare drops when there is no differentiation between preceding or competing offerings of a product.

Or they could have just added the features to digital downloads and let the consumer decide. Or an opt in / opt out choice in the settings where you can choose whether or not to register a disc. They could have had their revolution, just while keeping their policies backwards compatible.
