I agree.

MS does not innovate they "embrace and extend".

MS killed off all the competition in huge swaths of
the software biz. Once you are totally dominant and
complacent in your dominance, what incentive is there
to innovate ? And what incentive is there for anyone
else to attempt to compete with new products ?
