Microsoft purchased pretty much everything they've ever "produced"... There was a time when the best business model possible for a good startup idea was to invest just enough time and money into it to get on the MS radar and get bought out.
Case in point why Excel and Word have such different multiple instance launching mechanisms. They were two different companies and they never completely unified how the apps work. I believe SCCM/SCOM is another one.
