Wait...MICROSOFT is more innovative than Nintendo? What did they EVER innovate on (besides possibly Live)? I love Xbox, but that's just ridiculous.

 What, have you never seen Windows Vista?????


Yes and its crap. Long live XP!



I like technology when its moving forward..

I'd remove MS from the list :) Since I have a PS, Wii, DS, iPod, HP computer, and several GE products, I am happy with the other companies mentioned in this thread.

MS products
360 = PS3 and Wii are more innovative
Zune = iPod is more innovative
Vista = least innovative operating system
IE = blown away by Firefox
Hotmail = as bad as yahoo and not even close to gmail
MSNBC = ok, I give, this is better than Fox and CNN but they all suck
MS does have that really cool touch screen but I like what Sony is doing with screens even more.

Like many others... I fail to see why Microsoft should be on 5th place... It is a mystery to me that they even make it into the list of "Innovative Company" at all...

Sony is the most innovative to me ( I am an engineer myself),,not in gaming but in electronic devices like TV,,,just go and take a look at OLED TV and you see why they are innovative..


Or take a look at their flexible TV here:

now that's engineering.

nintendo is a very innovative gaming company(ofcourse in gaming only)

MS? I m not so sure on that one(if marketing is engineering then I guess yea)

If I remeber correctly Kodak was the company who developed the oled technology not sony.

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

yea it was kodak...tho sony was the first to make TV using OLED

OLED technology was first developed at Eastman Kodak Company by Dr. Ching W. Tang using small molecules.

The technological world we live in has been shaped and definied by Microsoft. So I will asume all those things are why they are so high on the list, that and the 5 million dollars they paid.

Bolded the key part.

You're talking about engineering, Businessweek is talking about bringing consumer products to market. I'm not trying to judge one definition as being superior to the other, but they're two very different things.

Develop all the spiffiest widgets and gizmos in the world, and if none of them find a home with a substantial segment of consumers, Businessweek doesn't care.

People often talk about how all the tech in the Wii and wiimote is old and none of it was actually invented by Nintendo. This is true. The innovation is how Nintendo brought all that old tech to the market and caused a sensation. When flexible displays are brought to the market and make a fortune like the Wii or the iPod have, then they will be the kind of innovation that Businessweek cares about.
