Yes. That's why Microsoft gets away with not being responsive to customers. However using alternative systems (e.g. Mac, Linux, Google docs, LibreOffice) where possible does help even if only a little.

There are also advantages to the free solutions: no requirements to manage licenses and some improved functionality (e.g. seamless sharing with Google docs).

The fact that MS is including bash on Windows shows that the pressure is working.
