Face it; if someone could have made a better OS then they would have.
The thing is companies make better OS than Microsoft. OSX is far superiour to Vista and even Linux is getting there.
Microsoft sits on its fat monopoly and a competitor cannot get in because everyone uses programs that work only on Windows. That's a classic lock-in. The quality of Windows has nothing to do with it but the number of programs that work in it.
Microsoft Office is also not worth the billions of money M$ makes with them. Its a stupid Office suite. You can get comparable offerings for free. But since everyone uses Microsoft Office and MS does its best to make document interchange with competing programs as hard as possible there is no real competition in this market.
