The very reason why that cross compatibility is so hard and broken is Microsoft sabotaging the fuck out of it. Microsoft has always been about money, dead stop. If theyust make great software for money, they will. If they can get away with mediocre to absolute shit software while sabotaging the competition, then that is what they will do (and have been doing for decades)
