No, more like Dell doesn't manufacture CPUs, so how many computers would they sell if they were still loading computers with x86 486 chips they still had lying around instead of the Intel 64-bit chips people want?
If you look thru the signatures on here where people list what their computer specs are, many of them are I7 stuff. Are you running An I7? Lots of people think that an I7 is the best there is, and I7s are what they happen to have laying around... I7s were first released in 2008...... Yes they are a little faster, but its the same 5 year old design.... If you want new and shiny, an I7 isn't it. New and shiny from Intel is an E7-4870 LGA1567 10 core Xeon. And I'll bet no one here is running those yet.... If your an AMD fan, it would be a 16 core Opteron setup. (which ironically is cheaper to build than a high end I7)
Your analogy doesn't go along the same lines as mine did, but you did prove a point and probably didnt realize it...
People want what they think is the best...
Genesis is not the best, but it is far more affordable than other alternatives to do similar things. Just like the I7s are cheap compared to a top end Xeon.
If Genesis was some ground breaking technology, it would be in everything already...
But it isn't, for a good reason. And that reason has nothing to do with what it can do, or even how many people want it. It is a business decision not to support it because it is proprietary.
People here are quick to say that SM should support it, that they can't afford not to.
Well, obviously that can afford not to, because they have not. And no one else has supported it either...
Some things are easy to explain, other things are not........ <- Store -> <-Freebies->
