Microsoft bypassed the technical folks and sold it to upper management.

Different platform, same story:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell#Beyond_NetWare

"However, by 1999, Novell had lost its dominant market position, and was 
continually being out-marketed by Microsoft, which gained access to 
corporate data centers by bypassing technical staff and selling directly 
to corporate executives."

and that was how I got into mainframes in 1980. IBM did a better job 
than DEC at selling to the board of directors.
