I suspect Monkies will fly out of your ass. I was marketing a product not too long ago and couldn't seem to get traction. I had one vendor with 97% of the market and 90% of all PC nodes. They had a office productivity suite with 95% of the market and a mail server and client that had a similar share. It did calendaring, email, sharing, etc. They also had the majority of accounting packages running on their system. That company's name was Novell. I was promoting NT 3.1 at the time. No one wanted our server, much less our desktop. So, have a glass stomach implanted so you can see. Cause obviously you don't.
