I don't think that Microsoft ever got the kind of traction they've
enjoyed in the US, Canada, Oz/Nz and Europe in any other geography. The
rather sad consequence from our point of view, is that adoption is
likely to be much less rocky in Africa, Russia, Middle & Far East,
Indonesia, China, Japan, India, Pakistan etc. Of course, from their
viewpoint, I'm quite sure that this is no problem at all!
