Perhaps "dummys" is a bit harsh. I'd say it's more a case that Microsoft's
marketing strategy is explicitly aimed at excluding from the technology
decision-making process the people most qualified to make technology
decisions, i.e. the IT department. CEOs are perhaps the *least* qualified
to make these decisions, so of course Microsoft targets their marketing
efforts at CEOs.
