I don't know about any 'slacking'. m$ continues to focus on 'user experience'
(see under paperclip, scratch doggy and 'cool' warping windows) and raking in
dollars using format user lock-in and license fee rises, and almost everyone
else works hard to make their software usable and compatible (in the sense of
not wiping out 5-sheet worksheets or 10-page painstakingly typeset documents
when something or other happens).
