Having weird duplicate products is not unusual at Microsoft. It probably would have been better for everyone, including shareholders, if they’d been broken up or spun off divisions as they grew.

If they had spun off Windows and Office into independent companies, Windows would have made a competing office suite and Office would have made a competing OS
