Hmm. Not sure I agree with that. For quite a while, Microsoft was the driving force behind OS/2. And OS/2 in turn was the force behind several leading Microsoft products. I remember Microsoft's original involvement with SQL Server, for instance, which was intended mainly to propel OS/2 into the database server market.
As for the Mac, Microsoft has a long history of Mac support. Long into the Windows era, they were writing versions of all the Office apps for the Mac, not to mention many of their developer tools.
