Evo, you missed my point. Even though Betamax might actually have been better in many respects than VHS, the 'standard' became VHS. Similarly, although Macs have their devoted afficionados, whether they like it or not, the 'standard' is invariably MicroSoft. Linux, Godzilla, Bollux or whatever, most people are entirely happy with MicroSoft and leave the esoterica to the wireheads.
