"DOS Ain't done 'til Lotus won't run" - anonymous

This is not new practice for M$. Even before Excel and Word and Office,
In the days of DOS 1, 2, and 3 (and yes, I ran DOS 1 at some point in
the past) that bit of poetry made it into the tech vocabulary. DOS 3
broke compatibility with lots of things, DOS 4 was worse, and the SETVER
hacks M$ put into DOS 5+ didn't help too much. And then there was the
special file that DOS 5 installed that Windows wouldn't run without (and
caused DRDOS no end of trouble for a while). 

No, this M$ behavior has been going on since long before IE and Windows
9x....
