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!).

Couldn't have said it better myself. Everyone that hates MS and Gates is using Windows XP. Everyone that hates Gates hates him because he has a lot of money. They hate MS because they have a monopoly. You can't blame them for that.
