Capitalists invest in new software ventures with the hope of gaining a dominant position in a new niche market. There is essentially no new investment in existing niche markets, since it is impossible to compete with an established dominant player on the basis of lower costs and the possible gains of an uphill battle for a small share of a shrinking pie rarely justify the risks. In their wildest dreams these capitalists want nothing so much as to be just like Microsoft.
