they came to dominate the market for their business tactics, not because they actually provide a superior product, because they don't. it is crystal clear now with the fiasco that is vista that they are incompetent within their core business, which is the operating system. they took the hard work of others (the original codebase for all versions of windows was NOT developed by MSFT) and made minor incremental changes, and through bullying became dominant. then they decided with vista that they were going to start from scratch, but oops, they figured out that they're clueless a to how to successfully write an OS from scratch, scrapped it all and went back to patching up the same f'ing codebase. hopefully as people see that linux can provide a similar experience for a far lower cost of ownership, enough businesses will jump ship and they will go away.
