Back in my teens, my dad and I wrote a Basic interpreter for the PC
based on the Acorn BBC Micro dialect. We went to a computer show, and
I lost count of the number of people who just asked "Is it 100%
compatible?", and when I said "no, but...", they just laughed and
walked off. It's a hard barrier to break through - there are plenty of
people who will say "It doesn't have feature X therefore we'll stick
with Microsoft". Sometimes it's features that can be worked around,
such as only allowing one AutoFilter in a workbook, but someone will
use that as an excuse for declaring a show-stop.
