But even so it seems they can release any heap of crap and watch it sell to the masses.
You mean, like MS BOB? The MS cordless phone? Someone's in the Kitchen? Freestyle Pro? WinG? IE Channels? Image Composer? I wasn’t aware the masses were beating doors down to find these! :-?
Or were you perhaps thinking of DirectX (which beat Glide and OpenGL) and Word (beat WordStar and WordPerfect) and Excel (Beat Quattro and VisiCalc.) and PowerPoint (beat endless sea of crappy apps)?
Seems to me, those titles all won on their own merits…
No, no and no.
Word sucks, its unstable, even the OS X version. I find the good free Abiword program just as useful and its free.
Excel does nothing most other half-decent spreadsheet packages do. Powerpoint, well.. you can always tell the difference between a Scala and a Powerpoint presentation.
Internet Explorer sold to the masses. So did Microsoft Windows.
Two major examples how MS get away with anything.
If any other company had released such tripe then they would have been dead and buried many years ago.
