> The weird thing is, Betamax didn't just lose, it disappeared. In the retail market, yes. In the commercial video production market the technology used in Betamax lives on today. At least in places that haven't made the switch to digital. What bearing this has on the current discussion is questionable but it does suggest that not all applications benefit from the same tools. In the case of professional video production the choices were often based on understanding what actually worked better all around (performance as well as price). It might be a fair statement to say the software tool 'industry' is doing nowhere near an effective job at differentiating what solutions are best for any given applications.
