Did Msoft _ever_ do *any* original?


It's no coincidence that Microsoft begain going downhill at the same time
Steve Ballmer became CEO. The man's a fool. Unfortunately for them, they
have nowhere to go but down, especially since they started with such a poor
foundation as DOS.


Either you're being generous about Msoft "going down hill" in OS
quality or you intend that their market shares are diminishing. If market
share - good! If quality, then I must wonder how one declines from
the bottom.
