No, but this is an answer!

:o)

Anyway. I saw this question on the NYtimes: Why is it that Microsoft "no longer brings us the future"?

The writer, being an ex-microsofty, has some interesting insights into some of the problems MS has to deal with - internal sabotage being one that, I suspect, suprises nobody.

But it puzzles me, because an an ex-MS employee, I'd expect him to know their past product line pretty well. So can somebody tell me: When did MS ever "bring us the future"?

I'm serious. My basic view of MS is that their general strategy is to see what the rest of the world does, and then copy it & try to make it better. Their most successful software is Windows, Office, and IE. But they didn't invent the GUI, the PC desktop, the word processor, the spreadsheet, the browser..

So, seriously, what products is this guy talking about when he talks about MS being the innovators? I'd like to know.

Anyone?
