Ummmm - you appear to underestimate the power of marketing.

People still eat at/from fast food places, even though the medical
evidence indicates that this is not a good thing. (see virtually
any medical journal on the cause and effect of obesity in North
Americans.)

Basing any decision on 'what everyone else does' is subject to flaw.

Yet, the primary Microsoft model is: flood the media and everyone who does
not have time to evaluate properly will go to the populist source by
default. Regardless of whether it is gold or crap in the specific
situation.

I am deliverately avoiding the 'technology' discussion, as we both know
that Microsoft and Oracle have technology that delivers well, when used
properly.


Or perhaps you do not underestimate the power of marketing, but support it
slideways? Shills have appeared here on a regular basis, many having
precisely this argument.
