Correct and important for strategy and actions to change the longer 
term options.

But for an advert going out this week, *now*, we will be advertising to:
People who cannot buy a pre installed machine of their choice. They 
will need to install it themselves!

Partitions, uncertainty backup, (what?) installer, fear,  whatever.
Mostly no chance. If they and we are lucky they will ask a geek friend 
or an ex Windows lover.

May I plea for action soonest too, in addition to longer term actions?
