- You know it isn't that simple though. There is the very big factor of user
- base to contend with. Often it is very hard ti convince someone to try a new
- system. You don't automatically get control of the market by writting a
- better system. Hell, DOS has never been the best system availlable, but it
- sells and that is the bottom line. There is a lot more to making a system a
- big success than simply making it better than your competitor's. If that was
- all it took, DOS would have flopped from the start.
