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.
