you can't get mad at Bill Gates/MS for the current situation of their software. When you run a MONOPOLY you don't have to put out polished code, secure software etc.. Why?? Because the average user doesn't understand Linux, can't comprehend Unix, and can't find a Mac. He is running a company while maximizing profits. That is his job. Blame consumers/competitors for not demanding or offering quality substitutes.
We are in a capitalistic society where the CONSUMER is the driving force behind DEMAND. If there is no demand, the product doesn't sell. Yet we continue to DEMAND MS Products (maybe not Dragon2fire, but most of the rest of the country!).
