It is not necessary to build a better mouse trap. In fact, that
almost makes it harder to overcome market inertia, because the people
who made the better solution expect that others will recognize its
superiority, come to the same conclusion, and choose the better
option; as a result, they don't push it as hard as someone who knows
that they are selling crap.
Look at VFP vs. VB, or Mac vs. Windows, or Beta vs. VHS... history
is filled with inferior choices that completely dominated a market.
