Because those of us who are already out there selling it find that in many places, they won't even consider running a web server that the CTO has never heard of. If it ain't written up in Business Week, or whatever the current magazine of choice is, it doesn't exist for them. The more widely adopted it is out there, the more big names we can point to who are already using it, the easier time we'll have. And no, AOL doesn't count - too many people have either had problems with their service or have lost money on their stock, and the name AOL is actually a turnoff to those folks (sorry).
