To be honest, I'd have a harder time naming innovative features that shipped at Microsoft and didn't come up from the bottom. Pushing innovation from the top seems like it would be really hard for anyone not named Steve Jobs :-)
- mbreese 17y agoWhat about things that aren't developer tools? It seems to me that a lot of the more interesting things coming out of Microsoft have been developer tools and languages. These just scream like something that should be bottom-up style innovation. No one ever said MSFT didn't have top-notch developers. And developers tend to produce cool tools for themselves to use. What about something more consumer facing? Has there been anything like that to come out in a while?
