Speaking as techsupport in the realestate industry I can say with confidence you are SO wrong.
The 80/20 rule applies there as it does anywhere else, and the lure of easy money brings alot of unqualified people.
While it is true that quite a few facts are just claims in disguise, back when i was getting my cert for Novell 4.11 Microsoft was claiming market share not by office, but by computers, which infated microsofts numbers by quite a bit, since to get the same performance one had to buy two or more servers to do the same as the one novell server. (Yes, I realize this is not new news to most of this crowd.) So considering microsofts facts as misleading claims is not just prejudice, but also experience. Once bitten twice shy so to speak.
