You hit the nail on the head here. Small companies with few IT staff (if
any) need a system that is inexpensive and intuitive. MS knows this, and
MS gives them what they want.

Why buy a $30,000 system, when a system costing less than $5,000 can do
the same job, is easier to understand and operate, and recognizes a
greater range of hardware types. It doesn't matter if the system is
Windows, Mac, Unix, or Linux based, the iSeries is a very difficult
system to sell into small business.

I know a number businesses here in the UK who have thrown out their
AS/400s and moved to NT, not because NT is better, but because it is
cheaper than upgrading the AS/400, has the GUI interface, and is
relatively simple to administrate.
