In what way?
Here's a quick question: what's one single product originally produced by
Microsoft, or for which the Microsoft version was better than its competitors
in some real and substantial fashion.
The only one I can think of is commercialized UNIX on home computers.
UNIX?
Yep, Xenix. That's about the only time a Microsoft product has been better,
faster, smaller, more stable, more reliable, and they threw it away because
Bill Gates was pissed at not getting an exclusive license from AT&T.
