I found the "balance of power" statement interesting. On thinking about it I found it to be spot on esp in discouraging deviation from the norm thus stiffling innovation.
Locally guys go for the big guy and the small guy who can later become the "better option" is left to die. A few illustrations.
1. Every car infront is a T. 2. T.. my country my beer. K will never have a chance with its S brand. 3. 90% of new coders know VB and nothing else. 4. The better option has over 14m subscribers as they claimed yesterday in the papers. 5. Majority of accountants will only use QB 6. And the list goes on.

Peter, Why are 90% of new coders on VB still? Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual Basic.Net? For desktop / client apps used in retail shops (and offices) VB (6.0) is more than enough but is PHP not more popular nowadays on the Server side at least? Recently a SW Dev told me that most accountants / businesses are unable (too ignorant) to use QuickBooks in a way that creates more Business Intelligence for them. Why is this so? How easy is it to customize QuickBooks? Am aware this is your competitor so .. ________ Kai had stuff to say that needs to be blogged if it was not recorded. Do not miss out on it. Believe you me on that one.
