>>MSFT treats other software developers as "New Idea" creators and testers.

You mean like when Orcl made a similar product as R* - developed at IBM Santa Theresa, the first relational database - which eventually eclipsed the original?

And are you referring to the terrible tactic of hiring away the "creator company" development team, like Oracle did (or tried to do) 15 years ago?
