Squilliam, you sir should win the award for topics that really are incredibly pointless.

Are you writing a fantasy novel? A sweeping epic of MS and their magical ability to harness their R&D magic skills to control and overwhelm the masses with their magical powers.

DUDE, what are you talking about? Ok ok, Name me 1, just 1 new technological (or even software) innovation from MS that has been truly revolutionary, popular and a big success.

What's not Included - Vista (pack in and everyones forced at gunpoint to buy the thing, oh and its shit)
- XBOX 360 (its a videogame system, not revolutionary)
- Zune (you know why, don't start)
- software (messenger, email, browsers, etc have all been improved on by competitors)

I will name just one innovation they came up with, AJAX.  They didn't call it that, but they came up with the idea to make asynchronis http requests from Outlook for additional functionality.  And AJAX is a pretty big deal.

Zune software is fantastic and works completely fine for me.  It is also a hell of a lot more secure than iTunes.  If you use iTunes, you are not secure.
