: Microsoft has for a long time now gone after future markets rather than
: past ones. While there is perhaps currently a large market for software
: products and services for Windows 3.1 systems, Microsoft wisely (in my
: opinion) prefers to leave it to third parties who drain their resources
: fighting for larger scraps of a shrinking market. (Word Perfect, Lotus,
: Novell, etc.)
Let me translate: Microsoft has or a long time now gone after
complete incomaptibility with it's competitiors and even its own products
in order to maximize the amount of money they can collect after every bug fix
in their 'operating system'. Microsoft wisely (IMHO) relies on blindfolded
people who think this is just great. Stefan
