MS doesn't really innovate as much as they could. That's because they behaved like a monopoly and could care more about themselves than their customers.

You know, Apple started behaving this way after Steve Jobs left the company long ago. This led to Apple's downfall. Seems MS acts the same way and will soon suffer the same fate. Oh well. What comes around goes around.

Remind me again which company forced clone makers out of business?

When a company has such a small marketshare it can't afford such competition. When Apple grows to like 10-15% marketshare again, then they might be able to afford some competition in the Mac market, and that in turn should lead to lower prices and even higher innovation.

Asher, give it a rest. You have better things to do, right?

I most certainly do not. It's a wednesday night in the middle of the week, and I've got the entire week off of school.

This is great for amusement value. It's like arguing with Creationists.

No, You Are

EDIT:

Because MS is a larger company than Apple right now, they have the resources to handle many more projects and products than Apple.

Or is MS a large company with more resources because it is more innovative?

But Dear God, please don't let Apple become a behometh bullying monopoly like MS.

They already were. Back when they had market share.

I can't remember the last time I used "M$". It's homo-gay.

That's your innovation argument?

What argument? I remember making a pronouncement, but no argument.

I'm not the one who'll look like a fool.

Of course you are. Asher has already proven it. By patent numbers alone you fail in your argument. What, you have iTunes and that is it? That's your innovation argument?

Link, please.

Kidding. Okay, I'll give you that.

How about MS' Media Center PCs? How about bundling a HD and ethernet with a game console? How about adding tiltwheels to the mouse for horiztonal scrolling? How about the SmartPhone OSes? How about tablet PC OSes?
