They got pretty close to that in DOS and early versions of windows. 
Macs had little trouble with files from MS, but MS had trouble reading
files formatted for MS.  

There are still Windows users who actually fear anything else.

Thank you,

This reminds me of a post from a few weeks ago about adding software to
a 
Windows PC. I think it was FireFox. The poster was concerned that adding

new software would somehow make the computer stop working.

Microsoft has been very effective at marketing by fear. Their message is

that deviating from their products will make you an outcast. Your 
computer will break, nobody will be able to read your files, and 
everything sent to you will be gibberish.
