Old Habit Die Hard! (Part 2)

Ever wonder why are some technology or business innovation take times to flourish? Yes, you're right again; old habit die hard!

Its human nature to develop a habitual action modification resistance. Isn't that why Microsoft Word had to mimick (imitating) almost all Word Perfect GUI (Graphical User Interface)? By doing that, Microsoft Word can be 'accepted' by Word Perfect users then switch them to MS Word forever.

I really think, in any relationship, the ability to adapt and accepted is crucial before the ability to influence. Do you want to influence your customers? Adapt and be accepted first!
