The pattern here is that like all software companies, they create something good, then they destroy it by continuing to work on it.
Like the poster above asked: are you sure we live on the same planet?
From what I've seen, Microsoft always looks at what other people have done, then tries to create their own version. The first version is always absolute crap, but they always say, "Wait until the next version. It'll be even better!" Then they use their deep pockets to keep working on it, and sometimes, by the third or fourth version, they'll have something usable. Often, though, it never really gets better (I'm looking at you, Outlook). Either way, it still captures the market, proving 1) Microsoft is still a monopoly that needs to be dealt with, and 2) popularity is not necessarily a result of quality.
