Not the stock market - the GIS software market. Customers do respond to =
market conditions (price, power, quality, ease of use). But not like they =
do for commodities. When buying a new car or computer, its no problem to =
switch from brand to brand. But in software, people often stick with what =
they know to avoid having to retrain themselves. This brand devotion may =
or may not be rational: software consumers rarely have perfect knowledge =
and it is difficult to predict the cost of switching from one package to =
another. In the long run, companies with subpar performance do risk =
losing part of the market. =20
