That is actually an interesting point... The market should dictate that if someone had software that was superior (and there are several out there) that Microsoft should be out of business. Yet... They continue to thrive, despite giving the finger to everyone that uses their software. Why does that happen?

(another example of Microsoft giving the finger: Internet Explorer is the browser that is least compliant with W3C guidelines. I'm certain that they are well aware of the guidelines, they just choose not to follow them.)
