Make some sense
Or at least choose better examples.

Did you ever try to develop for Netscape? Crappy documentation, C compilers and no help at all. Apart from the fact it was also buggy and its rendering was 'interesting' at times'. IE was simply better.

RealPlayer was and is a adware/spyware treat for everyone and it never that good. DRDos - come on. WordPerfect I used for years but they just couldn't keep up and Microsoft's Word in the end was easy to use and its editing paradigm became dominant.

I'm not even going to mention Corel anymore - except to remember their glacial Java Office - they did make all their own mistakes.

Hindsight is so easy isn't it, when you can only see Microsoft as the anti-christ. If you have any facts behind your rants, put them up - the endless list would be nice - and you might hear some real facts about the products MS supposedly built things into Windows to destroy.
