I can't speak for Mark, but the "uniformed masses" I interact with tend
to be the guys looking for (and authorizing) solutions in small-medium
business segment... And Microsoft has done the "education" for us and

So despite that they have no idea what "SQL" actually means, or where it
came from, it's got the desired association.

So, my neck of the woods ain't necessarily yours, but...
