Jacob Nielsen, usability guru, on Navision & Microsoft
[...] No matter what happens to this deal, we probably have to expect Microsoft to take over the market for small-and-medium sized business software. Most other software vendors are blinded by the opportunities for big-iron "enterprise" software and its associated big-ticket sales. Scaling down a high-end solution may turn out to be difficult, especially if Microsoft ends up establishing itself as the dominant vendor of business solutions for the sub-billion space. I note the importance of usability for these solutions since smaller companies rarely have an army of IT staff and a second army of IT consultants available to install and maintain their business software.
Could be very true.
