It doesn't matter how Microsoft achieved its success. The important moral from here is that they made something of value. Something that people WANT.
People just waited for someone to take the idea of windows, or DOS or whatever and transform it into a product that they can buy. People wanted this, thus Microsoft and Bill earned big bucks.
