Incorrect. Microsoft invented XmlHttpRequest during the time that they had the dominant browser.
They also brought Windows from 95 to NT, 2000 and 7, with plenty of innovation, during the time that they had the dominant operating system.

- xyzzyz 14y agoMicrosoft invented XmlHttpRequest during the time that they had the dominant browser. Ability to make HTTP requests from JavaScript can hardly be described as innovation -- all the other languages had this far earlier. The innovation, though, was using XHR to create highly dynamic web applications without refreshing page, and it wasn't Microsoft that started doing it at large scale.
