DR DOS --> Bogus Win3.1 error messages. WordPerfect --> Dumped (as in too low pricing) MS Office. Lotus 1-2-3 --> Cheap bundled Excel. Netscape --> "Free" IE and non-compliant HTML. AOL and ICQ messengers --> Bundled MSN Messenger. RealPlayer, WinAmp and Apple Quicktime --> Windows Media Player. Google --> MSN and Windows Live.
