>What superior products were defeated by inferior ones and why

Apple's Hypercard
defeated Object Logo
because Apple bought

Coral Software and stopped
supporting Logo during
Hypercard's first years.

Real easy-to-use,
powerful software got screwed
so Apple could sell

their in-house hodge-podge
of scripts and pretty pictures.
It makes me shiver.

(An ex-Apple star
once confirmed for me that this
happened as I thought...)

That could have been what HTML can't be (a unified standard), as I remember.
