This is actually A Good Thing. OSI never got traction because there was no reference implementation of their network stack, only an ambiguous specification.
If Microsoft had had to write their own TCP/IP stack from scratch, we'd still be trying to work out the interoperability problems, and the Internet would be far smaller / less pervasive as a result.
