Most?  Netscape, DOOM, Descent etc are NOT come from those large
company, and you can hardly find a networked PC do not have at least
one of them.  Also large company does not always make good product:
just look at MSAV and CPAV.  If you rely on those crap to protect you
from virus, you can kiss your files goodbye.  McAfee SCAN and
F-Prot are from small company but far more effective.

All of them (Win3.1, Win95, OS/2) claim to work under 4M Ram, turns
out to be jokes.
