different UI approach

I don't mean to brag, but a couple of years ago I built
a whole interface for an intranet project around a similar
concept : on the front page users could navigate through
the main sections of the site map without clicking, only
by moving the mouse over some graphics...
The project was for an international pharmaceutical firm,
and everyone was very enthusiastic, from end users to
big bosses in charge of making decisions.
We were said that we got the deal, development budgets
were discussed in details, but at the last minute, one of the
guys in charge of network maintenance said that he had never
seen anything like that before, and that it was out of question
that he and his crew would maintain such a thing.

And finally the whole project collapsed, and another company
(with a very dreadfull looking project) got the market...
