Disruptions: Microsoft's Struggle to Make Things Simple for Consumers - NYTimes.com

From a timely Microsoft snapshot
"“Speeds and feeds” is an old trade magazine term for the technical specifications of a new PC. Fifteen years ago, that a computer was a little bit faster or had more memory than the last version was a very big deal. The string of numbers and jargon on the side of a computer’s box was a sort of runic code that made sense to I.T. managers or tech-savvy relatives coerced into helping the less sophisticated. It told them what to buy.
That is just not the case anymore. Consumers demand something that is easy to understand, and they got that in products like the iPad."
