Tenchusatsu,

If innovation seems to be a something that "is being tossed around by Microsoft like a political buzzword", I'll tell you what I meant when I said "the right of a company to innovate it's products".

To innovate: v.t., to introduce as or as if new; v.i., to make changes: do something in a new way

m-w.com

I'm just listened to Bob Brinker right now and there was a caller arguing with him about whether or not Microsoft can be said to be innovative. The caller said that they are not innovative technologically but Bob vehemently disagreed and used the Microsoft browser as an example of their innovation.

Bob didn't bring up this point, but, nowhere in the definition of innovate is there an exclusion with regard to the type of innovation.

Any kind of innovation is innovation.

The effect of the lawsuit against Microsoft is to tell them that they can't add to and thus innovate their existing products. It's like telling Henry Ford that he can't add headlights on his car. Makes absolutely no sense.

I'm with Bill on this one and I hope he takes it to the Supreme Court. Let them adjudicate the matter. It's that important an issue.

Get it Amy?
