Really, where is the real innovation? Sure they have "big" products like .NET (if you can call that innovative), IE, Silverlight. But apart from their core OS and Office products what other products have they come up with that werent in face of competition? .NET from the whole Java kerfuffle. Silverlight in competition to Flash. Where is the originality? i suppose what MS could want online is "A computer on every desk and in every home, running MS software and internet explorer eternally pointing to msn.com"!
