familiarity breeds

Blu-Ray just won the high-def DVD wars, yet my Blu-Ray player is already old and musty. How did I choose the winning format way back when, you ask? Did I look at the studios who backed this format and the studios who backed HD-DVD and somehow divine whose movie library would be the winner? Did I flip a coin?

No and no.

All I needed to know before making my $1000 investment was that Microsoft was backing HD-DVD. That ensured it was a loser.
