ms being here longer than apple doesn't mean they're innovative. intel i can sort of give them innovation against amd but not ms against apple. ms actually has been a complete failure when it comes to innovation. apple on the other hand actually has been too much on trying to patent their innovation and it's biting them.
innovation is in open source. which is totally against microsoft's business practices. microsoft is a business and good at it. and bill gates is the perfect snake to head it. along with their lawyers.
nah. there's wheels still being invented all the time here. but capitalists and lawyers are way ahead of scientists.

No software company that makes money off its OS is going to be open source...Don't give me that b.s. about Linux because they are not a player in the game.....
Apples' OSs for platform computing are 3 times more locked down than windows.....Windows has always been easily customizable as a whole...

Not really......If you have a product or invention, just patent it and don't sell the rights to it....Its easier said than done, but if you want to use your invention solely for the good of mankind, you can definitely make sure it happens, at least while you're still alive
i brought up linux cause we were talkin about innovation and a platform open for innovation.
apple is locked by their do their innovation in house unlike microsoft which doesn't seem to do anything. they've been repackaging the same o.s for over 10 years.
and speaking of marketing and brainwashing users ms could be a major player just by marketing their junk. but ms is just as bad in marketing their own software. hotmail failed, their inhouse myspace/facebook failed. so many of their stuff fails cause they just lack marketing. only thing they've really poured money to deny failure is xbox. they've finally got on phones now. apple has been doing and mastered the phone game for years now. what we're seeing now has been the ms culture since the beginning. they don't bring anything new first. apple was even had the the first consumer o.s with x64 platform. even though they'd been other os's that supported x64 before both of them.
as much money as ms has you'd think they'd be first in almost everything but that's not the case. innovation is not synonymous with microsoft.
niccas do a lot of invention but don't know the patent game so white ppl steal their ideas and get them in the book and take the credit

Now I definitely agree with the bolded
i was just kidding about the last line. but black ppl invented a lot of sh1t building america but due to racism white ppl take credit for it.
most of these large companies (ms, apple, google, etc) don't really innovate anymore though. r&d is expensive and in many cases is a misnomer since they spend a good portion of that money buying up technology and swallowing smaller companies that really are innovating. sometimes this is done to integrate it into their product line or to keep competitors from getting hold of ideas that could put a severe dent in their market share.
i think you have a slightly shortsighted view of innovation. in many cases innovation is stuff you just cannot see or touch.
take ms for example. they spend more than anyone else on r&d by far, but that doesn't always turn into innovation we can see and touch. the "invisible innovation" for example is stuff like providing one sw installation that supports multiple hardware platforms, across multiple software versions, multiple off the shelf applications, backwards compatibility for sw and hw, a level of security for all the aforementioned, energy efficiency, cross platform integration, etc....all while keeping a palatable price point (relative to competitors). easy to take that for granted since we don't see it. that's not a defense of ms, because they do more "acquisition innovation" than actual in house innovation, but it's just an example of how expansive innovation really is when you look past the "shiny and new" perception of innovation.

fukking pathetic post.
I love it.. you don't like hearing the truth.
Interesting. One classical liberal agrees with me, and the other doesn't. @Odyssey, don't bother responding to my posts if you aren't planning to at least post a cogent statement of position.
