Can't imagine it's any better in the corporate world. How does such a crappy product become so big? The guys at the top must be raking it in, and they haven't even made a good program.
The business world is a strange place. Where companies can sell their products for millions of dollars, and then get the customer to pay millions more to the company in order to implement to the customers needs.
But once that company gets its software into the customer location, that customer is essentially stuck with it. Because it would cost far to much to get a different product.

Kind of how microsoft came to be the largest software company in the world (at least at one point it was).
