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.
