	I think you're all missing the point.  Microsoft is in business to
make money.  Considering that every time I see a list of top selling
software for the Macintosh, it's Microsoft topping the list, I'd say
they're doing a pretty good job of meeting their goal.  Last I looked,
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Works were 3 of the top 4.

	Aside from some epheremal goal of writing good software, what
incentive does Microsoft have to change?
