Hal - I don't understand why you are disturbed at the speed of innovation. Yeah, Apple beat MSFT to the market with a lot of ideas and MSFT beat Apple with some. Don't forget that it was MSFT (not Apple) that did most of the early work on the Apple interface (that is where windows came from - remember the suit?). There are lots of other examples. Right now, it is MSFT OS (not Sun OS - not Apple OS - not IBM OS - not BE OS - not SCO OS - not DEC OS and not any of the other OSs) that is the first to integrate the web into the OS. Oh yeah, speaking of innovation - it was at the 1936 World's Fair that IBM proudly introduced the first PC - a computer on a single board. It took their crack team of strike force scientists only 42 years to get it in a box (and that was after someone else beat them to it).
