[...Innovative != Better, Innovative == New Inventions....] This distinction is artificial. All inventions are based on the previous work of others to some degree. Innovation involves delivering on new ideas, not just expressing them. Notice the key word in "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door" is build, not imagine. Software integration is something the mass market wants. Ask you mom if she'd rather buy a system with the browser built-in or choose one herself and install it. MSFT is delivering the idea in the form people want it. If NSCP can't out-build them, they better get busy out-imagining them.

Oh please. Who really cares who came up with the idea. I'd rather be the guy who implements the successful product--not the guy who came up with the idea. Anyway, most ideas were thought-up a long time ago. Netscape (nor the school chums that MarcA conned, but I won't go there) wasn't the company who "innovated" the idea of a graphical web browser. If I go on to create a time machine, for instance, I guess by your definition I'm not "innovative" because someone else thought of the idea millenia ago. Right?
