I read Steve's post as saying that he finds Microsoft's development products great, but the
non-development products leave something to be desired.
Dunno what their more recent development tools are like, but back in the
days when WinDoze was just a DOS add-on that didn't sell very well, and
was made available to developers in "runtime" versions (presumably as a
way of getting them to write to its GUI APIs instead of OS/2, GEM, or
GEOS), their QB 4.5 and QBX 7 were pretty decent compilers for pure DOS
environments. And their Macintosh BASIC was much nicer than any Mac
development tools that Apple was offering.
Of course, "runtime" versions of WinDoze weren't the only rug Bill Gates
pulled out from under developers.
