I'm not talking about Microsoft's inertia, I'm talking about their users. Corporate IT departments that only know Windows/have applications they don't have the talent, budget or time to rewrite. All those naive users whose whole mental model of how computers work is based on how Windows does things. All the businesses that run on Excel abominations. That's a lot of inertia working in Microsoft's favor. They're not going to drive those people away by sucking unless they suck enough that those people can't get what they need to get done done no matter how much suckage they're willing to work around.
