What accomplishments? Making lots of money? They haven't introduced anything new, they've taken ideas that have been around forever and made some high-quality versions of them. Big deal. How excited can you get about that? Meanwhile, Microsoft gives us things like Kinect which I find much, much more compelling than anything Apple's ever come up with.

The idea of tablets and portable devices has been around since the fifties, they didn't invent multi-touch and they built OS X on the back of Unix. How am I wrong?

  Was the idea for Kinect one that didn't exist before, or that required no previous accomplishments (such as Unix --> OS X)? That seems unlikely.

    Fine, Microsoft didn't do anything new with Kinect either. That still doesn't prove that Apple did anything original.
