The vitriolic that appeared almost instantly on many online forums is astounding (concerning the truck analogy): it appears that many feel threatened by the 'appliance model' of computing. In America, I've seen statements that declare that this is an attack on American values, and freedom.

It's a great shake-up of a complacent industry.
