There are far too many examples in the past that prove better technology doesn't always win. Again, the Be/OS example comes to mind in direct relation to your own statement. The Apple OS offerings has largely been better more than WIndows for more of the time and yet it hardly breaks a certain threshold on market penetration. Beta versus VHS anyone?
That's in the past. Times are changing. Firefox has changed things. The iPhone has changed things. Apple's OS and laptops are changing things. Apple's #1 in laptops, #3 or #4 in desktops, depending on the source, and has more than doubled their market share in recent years.
Just saying using examples that are a decade old aren't necessarily relevant anymore.
