One thing though, calling Microsoft stupid is another WTF. Microsoft is successful for a reason, they're very, very smart.

My God! Are you THAT biased? "All they did was start a marketing snowball" Congrats for pointing that out. That's no 'small' accomplishment as you're trying to pass it off as. All of the things you mentioned, you try to pass them off as small achievements that anyone could do. They're all great achievements that ONLY Microsoft managed to accomplish. And you try to say that they're not smart for that? Sure there was SOME luck involved, but why can't you just admit they Bill Gates is a freakin genius?

I know that, but felix is trying to make it sound like their skill at marketing is 'no big deal.'

Sure, but you can't call Microsoft stupid for what one marketing person draws up.

Most people simply hate Microsoft because they're big. They eventually stop caring about why they hate Microsoft and decide to call Microsoft 'stupid' and tell others that they hate Microsoft because it's products suck. I've learned to avoid questioning these people about that becuase eventually their argument turns to "n00b, microsoft = teh suck".

Alright, so they didn't use it well, therefore it's not innovative?

And, in that case, name ANY innovative software. By your rules, the only innovative software is software that was created at the dawn of computers.
