Just remember that the inferiority of Windows 3.1 was not relevant to explain its big market share.

It was not a determining factor, but it certainly was relevant.

For example, I know of several Apple shops that switched to Wintel only after Win95 was out, since they felt that, Win95 and MacOS being so similar, the jump would be small enough to keep re-training costs at a minimum.

So while it is true that an inferior platform might end up dominating the market, the more improvements that platform sees the less likely is that competitors will beat it.
