- Because they want to make people stay with DOS/WIN
- and not going to far superior OSses (like OS/2 2.0).

- usable MS-Products) to support their Semi- (WIN) and
- Vaporware- (NT) OSses?
-
- And they don't adhere to standards, namely they introduced
- TrueType instead of using the common PostScript in their
- Win31 -- adds great confusion to the marketplace.
-
- Just my personal opinion.
