> Microsoft has always been company that is very good at building software compared their competition at the time.

I have never, ever heard that. (Edit: Name such software today.)

> Their office productivity software, for example, is what made Windows popular (Windows is useless without apps).

Completely false. Windows was already a monopoly, and the US government successfully sued Microsoft for using their Windows monopoly to leverage sales for Office. They told manufacturers: If you want Windows (which was essential) for the computer, you must pay for an Office license too.

Where do you get this stuff or why are you posting it?

The government lawsuit was specifically about Internet Explorer, not Office. At no time were manufacturers forced to pay for Office licenses. Go ahead, look it up, I'll wait.

Where do you get your stuff and why are posting it? You do know that Office applications existed before Windows, right? Excel came out for Mac OS first.
