   Microsoft may write a lot of code, but there is not one application space that they currently dominate where they were the original innovator.
   
   Excel: Stolen from Lotus
   Word: Word Perfect came first
   DOS: Bought baseline code from hapless developer
   Windows: Stole the Idea from GEOS
   Internet Explorer: Netscape? anyone?
   
   The list just goes on. The only 'innovations' are programming widgets (like OLE, activeX) which are buggy, insecure, and unnecessary.
   
   Defend them all you like, but their success comes not from their techical savvy or innovation, but from marketing savvy and complete lack of ethical restraint.
