Dream on. People often buy Microsoft because they get what they need at
super value.
I happen to like Office because I like getting a suite of cool applications
with zillions of useful features at a ludicrously low price. Visual Studio
is one of the finest development tools ever created in any environment,
period. That's why we use it. Microsoft has big time credibility and a
history of working very hard to get products right even if they fall short
in early versions. They have superb ISV programs and make it really easy
for developers to support their products, so lots of other applications will
work with Microsoft products. Even if they didn't own Windows, these would
all be great incentives to be interested in their products.
Cheers,
Dimitri
