>>>Not being able to switch is definitely a barrier, but it's related to efficiency, not some external factor, like law, for example. <<< Usually a big factor is local conventional wisdom. Habit. 'Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM', or so they used to say. Of course in most countries kickbacks are a big factor, too. That tends to favor the biggest player, naturally. Baksheesh, y'know? When IBM wanted to sell a lot of PCs and mainframes to Bank of America, they started by buying a lot of Bank of America stock. Then we ended up with micro channel up the wazoo. Not efficient at all. They kept sales reps on site in offices we 'gave' them. Nice of us, huh? Ciao, Chaz
