Microsoft doesn't write software to make them better... no.. they just do it to earn money... look at how much revenue numerous governments and people are using due to the same practice. As an industry they have the resposibility to work on improving and improvising on the very foundations that gave them the technology to earn so much.
Ok, look at what's under the hood for microsoft... they didn't invent the internet, they were far from born when the basic protocols of computing were being invented. They have a crappy product.. that they overprice and sell.. that's cheating. Ok they are even taking money from innocent businesses citing patent violations that they never stating which ones.. look they want to make money even from linux... all the hard work of millions of developers is going to microsoft's benefit.
