Because they want to make people stay with DOS/WIN
and not going to far superior OSses (like OS/2 2.0).

And they don't deliver Excel 4 for OS/2 2.0 because they
dislike IBM. Or do they need Excel (one of the more
usable MS-Products) to support their Semi- (WIN) and
Vaporware- (NT) OSses?

And they don't adhere to standards, namely they introduced
TrueType instead of using the common PostScript in their
Win31 -- adds great confusion to the marketplace.

Just my personal opinion.
