i wonder what happened.
mac vs pc both are still viable. unix vs whatever the other one is...
what was it supposed to be...
competitive exclusion: two products (perhaps) can't fill the same niche. one will have the competitive advantage and the other will be driven into extinction.
why must one have the competitive advantage? why can't they be even? or... insofar as they are different... why can't the differences involve trade-offs such that neither has the competitive advantage?
i'll look into that.
marketing must have something to say about this... with respect to niche construction.
because otherwise... it seems like (other things being equal) we would always end up with monopolies and no choice.
but maybe that is so?
i don't know.
