[citation][nom]Vladislaus[/nom]Really bad software, like photoshop, premiere, windows 7, office,... Guess this is why they have a big market share.Don't you mean apple users? Most PC users don't have a problem with either of those companies.[/citation]
I'm guessing you know next to nothing about computers, or you'd never make the remarks about Microsoft.
Microsoft gained market share because IBM chose them to make the operating system for the original PC. Of course, Apple beat them to the GUI idea, and IBM had a much better operating system in OS/2 (which Microsoft helped with, initially), but the inertia of DOS, and later Windows (which ran several DOS apps at once, since it used 386 Protected Mode) was too much to overcome. In fact, Windows was absolutely primitive compared to OS/2.
Microsoft then leveraged their monopoly in operating systems to gain hegemony with Office. Mind you, they never invented anything, but just created another 1-2-3, but because they were getting so much money from their OS division, they could make it much cheaper than Lotus, which did not have a huge cash cow. Of course, they did the same thing to Netscape.
There isn't a single piece of software Microsoft wrote that succeeded without the help of their monopoly position, that succeeded. You can see their failures all over the place, when they can't leverage their monopoly.
I have no idea what this has to do with Apple. Apple is a completely opposite company. They have created new things for the marketplace throughout their history, and gouged their customers for the pleasure. Microsoft is completely incapable of innovation. Apple creates markets, Microsoft blunders into them and hopes their size can make them a player.
I don't like either company much, but I prefer Apple to Microsoft. Actually, I prefer just about anyone to Microsoft. They are a strongly negative influence on computing, with their bloated, buggy software.
Adobe Flash is buggy as Hell. It's also slow. Didn't you read how everyone is moving away from it? It's got too many issues. Even the companies that say they'll keep using it never say it's good, just that it's out there, and a de-facto standard. But, its days are numbered.
