Because Big Blue didn’t buy his crap.
And after 95 came around, IBM was quick with OS/2, which was at the time the only true multitasking OS for PC’s.
Gates filled a vacuum. Now he has competition. Let the chips fall where they may.
Businessmen are savvy but stupid.
I came over to the business world from scientific computing (UNIX) and was in literal "shock and awe" for about two years that anyone would ever put up with anything as kludge-ridden and dysfunctional as windows; let alone be impressed by it.
I had always taken it as a *given* that the OS would be stable and that applications would work as promised.
No such luck.
Cheers!

Extremely intelligent marketing.
