Well, yes, although many people tend to stick to one manufacturer if it has served them well in the past.

You know: marketing is quite complex :p

it works au contraire;) people tend to avoid brands which have caused issues in the past

Actually no, it works exactly the way I said, especially for Belgian people. That's the reason why all these overpriced computer shops are still in business: people who don't know anything about computers feel that they've been served well in the past, so don't see any reason to change. Not even if the products are sold at rediculously high prices.

you're talking about components, not overpriced computer shops.
you referring to people sticking with computer shops, the discussion was about sticking with a brand;

It's the same principle; computer stores, brands ... really anything.
