It cracks me up, people who go around claiming Microsoft is guilty of some
conspiracy, when what they've actually done is improve the end-user
experience.

They don't do it for the purpose of making their competitors products look
inferior. Their competitors products ARE inferior. It's not Microsoft's
fault that the competitors wind up looking poor in comparison.

Actually they are more subtle. They ignore the standards, creating
variants of features that only work properly for those who use Microsoft
products to access them. Then most of the world creates product that
works with the Microsoft feature set, because that's what most of the
world has. Case in point: Microsoft Front Page. Once in Front Page,
always in Front Page. Only works with Front Page. Requires the server
to have Front Page. But everyone =has= Front Page already, so there you
go. Nonetheless, Front Page cannot be described politely.

They call this "improving the end-user experience".

What this has to do with the 747 I don't really know.
