    What product has MS bought that was a competitor to their product? What did they kill, keeping the inferior product and not improving it with the tech from the new product?

    [...]and learn how to spell "lose" (rhymes with "news") correctly.

    I agree on the spelling, but "lose" and "news" only rhyme if you're American.
