Microsoft InfoPath Adoption

Is it possible that the "chasm" is now narrower because of decentralized dynamics and no one recognizes this?

"But what Moore couldn't have forseen back in 1991 — and Microsoft's present-day strategists haven't recognized — is that in today's networked world, a visionary doesn't need the existing infrastructure of a large enterprise to impose adoption.
