Actually its not a new OS. Its Windows NT. Windows NT is 10 years old.
Nothing wrong with that though, Unix is 30 years old.

Unbiased in that you only use Microsoft Operating Systems?

Microsoft is a lot of things, most good, some not quite so good. Having said that, they sell a lot of software, because most of it beats the competition.
Yes, thats the reason. Microsoft maintains a monopoly because it makes better products, not because it abuses its position to crush any real competition.
