OK, you’re right. Every innovation in the desktop PC, the cellphone and the MP3 player has come out of Redmond, Washington. Microsoft is known for elegant, integrated solutions and always has been. You want innovation, think Bill Gates and thank Bill Gates. From Microsoft Bob to Zune to Kin to massive $17,000 table computers, Microsoft is always at the forefront and the rest of the industry resorts to copying whatever Microsoft does. /sarc
I can understand people being so-called “bots” for Apple of their own volition, because Apple actually makes a product people love. I know, I fit that description and have since 1988. There’s no explanation for you, aside from a monetary one, however. There is nothing to love about Microsoft. The money isn’t even all that great anymore.
Is that what I said? No. I never said that, nor did I even imply that. Nice strawman for you to rail against!
However, what I did show was that all that invention you claim came from Apple actually came from other people, well in advance of Apple. Apple is not an innovator, they are like Microsoft - an integrator. They take good ideas, polish them, and then market them as their own.
They make good products, they make good money, and they tell a good story. But they are by no means innovative.
Oh, and if you really want to blow your mind, consider this: Apple BUYS software from Microsoft to allow the iPhone to sync to Outlook/Exchange. Every iPhone sold puts dollars in Microsoft’s bank account!

hmmmm there must be SOME reason Microsoft owns about 98% of the desktop market and 60% of the server market worldwide.
Just speaking as an outside observer ... that bit of silly dishonesty just lost you your whole case.
I can't take seriously a guy who just makes things up out of whole cloth. And for you to be so juvenile about it...
