Especially when that system-house seems to integrate only in-house products to the exclusion of outside developers. Not true of course. MS makes the OS. No company has worked harder IMO than Microsoft, in sharing and encouraging third party development of products to work with and complement the Microsoft OS. Think of the gargantuan job it was to even attempt to implement "plug-n-play". Sure it didn't work perfect every time, because that's a huge challenge. The Apple way was to sell an AppleWriter printer: "Just use our printer!" no problems. If it were not for the generous win/win/win attitude of Microsoft, the personal computer industry would not today be employing 7 million people world-wide. As I see it, the facts and reality speak for themselves.
