Hotmail and MSN are the market leaders WW I believe. So its not only office and Windows that dominated.

The 360 completely changed how consoles worked online but pushing the digital marketplace etc and Windows 7 is seemingly a huge success (as is Bing I believe).

However yes they certainly don't seem as innovative as they should be.

Online existed on consoles back to Dreamcast and PS2. The 360 invented nothing except achievements, and even then it already existed in a lot of PS2 games individually...

 

Are you serious? DC had console online first, but Live (created on Xbox, not 360) has revolutionized the entire way people look at console gaming. They did it the right way, and popularized it. The Sega.net system and PSN up until recently were crap compared to what Live is. Live is still the standard to beat.

As with everything, the landmark isn't normally who did it first, but who did it in the right way as to make it hugely popular. And that was Live.
