"Netscape failed to see that browsing is actually an OS function, and as browsing became wildly popular, browsing was destined to become part of the OS. And MSFT doesn't sit on their hands - they have constantly improved the OS."

I see,

DOS 2.0 to 6.X was a triumph of OS development.

Copying Windows from PARC, Apple, et.al. was wildly innovative

We had to wait until 1995 to get a barely multi-tasking OS from the geniuses in Redmond. In 1995 they hadn't even completed a fully functioning TCP/IP suite for NT.

Here is a short quiz. Name one significant OS feature, LAN feature, protocol, application, software technique or whatever that MS invented or pioneered.

I suppose spreadsheets are really OS functions as well.

You don't do any accounting for Microsoft per chance?
