I think you are confusing "Freedom" with "Choices", and "Innovation" with "Product Development".

Perhaps I used too many words, so you missed the context. I was not pushing Microsoft as an innovator. "paul" said: i dont think it works this way. How much innovation do you see in the areas of word processors, spreadsheets, desktop db's, PIM's, project management software, etc. and if netscape goes down - browsers - maybe you consider the flying dog that gives condesending advice in office 98 innovation but I dont. I understood that (and the rest of the message) to imply that Microsoft was stifling innovation in many areas and that product technical innovation is a key factor in market success. I was questioning these points as well as asking for his definition of innovation. As such, could you let me know what your definition of "innovation" is and why you believe that "Microsoft innovation" is an oxymoron? A link to one of your prior epiphanies would suffice. :) Thanks for the good reading.
