Of course M$ has some best-of-breed software. Anytime something better peeks
over the horizon, M$ buys them up and shuts them down. That's how the
monopoly is maintained. The reality is, if it weren't for their tactics, we
would have much better software on the market. But for now it seems we must
accept that in some areas, M$ is the best choice even though it's crap. The
good thing is you cannot buy out GPL software and in many areas, the GPL
software is becoming quite mature. M$'s days are numbered.
