If MSFT wants to become known for innovation, they should start
submitting RFC's and send applications to ISO or IEEE or ANSI
for approval. It's not easy to get your standard adopted by the
rest of the industry, or even part of it. MSFT doesn't own any
standards that I know of, and they don't have the engineering
talent or corporate culture to encourage innovation.

Although these are not the body's listed but I thought Microsft was becoming more active in standards bodys namely ECMA, W3C and IETF. The ECMAScript standard had quite a bit of Microsoft work, so did CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). I also understand that they are submitting quite a bit of work like CDF, XML and work on a browser object model to name a few I hace seen in the press from time to time.

On the innovation front. My impression is that Microsoft's NetShow product was the first product on the market to use Multicast (Broadcast) IP which is a significant new technology. No I am not saying Microsoft developed Multicast IP ( I really do not know who invented this technology) but they seem to be the fist to commit to the technology and bring a product to market. I would call this innovation.
