What do Lotus, WordPerfect, Netscape, America Online, and Yahoo! all have in common?

They are all companies who had a better product that Microsoft who Microsoft eventually crushed. As long as Microsoft has the cash cow that is the OS business, they can afford to make repeated mistakes and will still eventually win. Almost everyone else has to get it right on the first try, but not Microsoft.
