>> I challenge you guys to come up with some major technical innovation that Microsoft has come up with, other than dirty (and clean) marketing tricks. I think FUD qualifies as an innovation.. almost used exclusively by microsoft.

PS- Laser Printers, GUI, client-client networking (a'la' network neighborhood), Video on PCs, WYSIWYG, Hypertext applications, Graphical internet access, photographic-quality virtual reality, the mouse, the 3.5 inch drive, CD-ROMs are some of the major innovations of the last 20 years, all of which were developed (or applied to personal computers for the first time) by Apple. GUI and mouse developed by XEROX. The 3.5" drive was developed by Toshiba I believe. CD-ROM by Sony in conjunction with Phillips and others. Photo-realistic VR by SGI. Hypertext definitely not by Apple either. Or laser printers. Not sure what you meant by "graphical internet access".
