You need serious help. I will not even comment on such a ludicrous statement.

In its history, Microsoft was always late to the party. It used aggressive
tactics to penetrate the market and vandalise the infrastructure instated by
the predecessors.
It is a well-known, frequently-iterated fact that Microsoft blew up when it
comes to realisation and understanding of the Web. They tries to push it
away, which is why they play catch-up with Google. Live software is long
overdue and will never catch up.
