Part of Microsoft's problem is its immense attack surface. For every instance of a server or network router running a Linux-based OS that requires deep tech knowledge just to log in, there are dozens or even hundreds of Microsoft desktops running software. These are sitting in front of folks who get used to the nice features and aren't watching for subtle URL changes, application misbehavior, or other hints that those reading this forum are more likely to pick up on. Looking back, certainly we could have done without some of the feature set (something Google picked up on this when they designed their own office suite), but I can't fault MS for trying to make their products attractive to their customers.
