Kovid you can blame people like me. We used DDE to integrate LOB CICS and Unix applications into server based letter printing that used Word and Excel 20+ years ago, on MVS it replaced DISSOS, PROFS on VM. The CICS implementation is still in use by some financial institutions. Not sure about the HP-UX implementation - it was used some post Soviet stock exchanges sites.
Banks trump MS wishful thinking.
