good post and I am tempted to agree with you but this point of view reminds me of the article "IT doesn't matter" which was followed by the web 2.0 boom a couple of years later. Software technology is not like earlier technologies. It is much more malleable and therefore able to create competitive advantages. The only technology that I can think to compare it to is biology. Some species (technologies) don't need to adapt (innovate) and stay in the environment ("market place"), others adapt daily.
