Nope. Very often in business the great inventions lose and poor technology
wins. See what has happened to M$ (vs. OS/2, for example). See what
happened to Amiga. Still another example I've heard was Beta vs. VHS
videorecorders. Beta system was superior -- and guess which one we nowadays
use? VHS.
Rather the poor technology tends to win. I hope this will change with free
world, ie. Linux.
