>> products because they find it useful

They buy it because at times they are forced with the threat of a
lawsuit or prison sentence, after they have used a "copied" version of
this MNC software and after they got "discovered".  They do not want to
change because they are forced to buy this stuff, now; they cannot
change because they have paid money for something they never wanted. ;-)


>> if MS product is not solving  their problem, I don't think anybody is
>> going to buy

There was this instance of M$ Power Point hiding/obfuscating serious
problems in the NASA Space Shuttle foam-tile mishap!  Instead of solving
and fixing serious problems, these M$ products have added up issues and
created mishaps of the worst kind. :( 

By giving false comforts, these products are lulling users to a slumber
of a lock-in.  The worst danger is that people no longer share and
collaborate to help each other.  These products build real walls within
the community of computer users'.
