You're missing the point. Everybody likes a good story like Romeo and Juliet. But it takes a Shakespeare to rewrite that old tale into a masterpiece. Sure, microsoft has a very large collection of stories, but they are not necesarily told in the best fashion. Money does not create a masterpiece, that's the job of unpaid inspiration.
To put a simple example, all you have to do is take a look at the smb network protocol that microsoft uses. A quick paging through the Samba documentation will show you that the microsoft approach to it's own network protocol is far removed from the way it actually works (which is more akin to a dynamic www based on "master servers"). It is no wonder that this protocol is only good for small networks, unless, of course, you switch to a linux approach, which gives you the liberty of using a smb "browser".
