I don't think you are looking at the true history of what 'windoze people'
willingly use. Look at "Frontpage Server Extensions", "VBScript", and the
number of sites on the internet which have '.asp' as their primary
document type.
Microsoft can spend a few hundred million advertising the 'innovations',
'ease of use', and 'stability' of this product, and upper level management
buys into it after only a couple of months.
I recently had an employer ask me (completely seriously) why I didn't
think that implementing an enterprise-wide database application using
Microsoft Access was a good idea. After all, it IS the database engine
supplied with Microsoft Office, which is the number one application for
windows.
Windoze people will buy anything microsoft sells them.
