I knew someone was going to tell me that IE was invented when there were no standards. I disagree.
In 1994, the W3 Consortium was formally established with support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA) in Europe, DARPA, and the European Commission, with a mandate to oversee development of common web protocols and promote web interoperability.

Microsoft originally released Internet Explorer 1.0 in August 1995 in two packages: at retail in Microsoft Plus! add-on for Windows 95 and via the simultaneous OEM release of Windows 95. I don't need to cite anything because I was working with Microsoft's PR company (presently called WE Worldwide) during that time and spoke with the people at the company who had derived the code from Spyglass Mosaic. There were proposed standards for the Worldwide Web and for browsers before there was any such a thing as Microsoft Internet Exploder.
ftp has been around since early the 1970s, developed by Abhay Bhushan while he was a student at MIT. This pre-dates Windows. In fact, it pre-dates Microsoft. Oh, that's right, you couldn't figure it out and needed a nice GUI client, right? Fetch dates back to 1989 when Jim Matthews wanted something that would work in the Mac labs at Dartmouth. It was released as Shareware. And Mosaic had an ftp client for Windows that they released with their browser in 1992. but I guess you couldn't figure that out, right?
To run IIS, you need a Windows Server. I rest my case.
And Microsoft's programming languages for internet service remain pretty backwards, but I will give you this: Talking about languages is the same as talking about religion. Everyone has their preference and I prefer to not get involved in theology. But php was written in the C programming language by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994. php became truly useful in 1996, which is when Microsoft's first browser was in its infancy. Cite: php.net 1996 was when I decided to no longer try to work with Windows, except as needed at work.
Macromedia invented Dreamweaver in 1997, and was maintained by them until Macromedia was acquired by Adobe Systems in 2005. Dreamweaver has always adhered to W3C web standards.
So, Mister anonymous coward, you have identified yourself as a Microsoft fan-boy who does not know what happened when and does not know what standards are and when they were released. And I'm old enough to know when things were developed, because I was using these tools then. I do not think I am jaded, but, I suppose you can go ahead and think that I am. I don't really care much what people think of me, I know who I am and I know what I know and that is fine for me.
