I think you're all missing the point. Microsoft is in business to
make money. Considering that every time I see a list of top selling
software for the Macintosh, it's Microsoft topping the list, I'd say
they're doing a pretty good job of meeting their goal. Last I looked,
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Works were 3 of the top 4.
Aside from some epheremal goal of writing good software, what
incentive does Microsoft have to change?
