Microsoft doesn't innovate, they just take old technologies, put a
marketing campaigne around it, and claim that it's theirs.

      fasle .net is not an old tech.

You're wrong, .Net is just a VM like java, with nothing new as JavaVM=20
isn't limited to be used with Java (more than 100 different languages/
compilers use it). A big API with classes for doing everything you need
isn't a new thing too, Java already had it, and before Java other =
platforms
got it too, If you call "new tech" the fact that you can use the API =
from=20
different languages, there're lots of precedents too. Finally, the =

(and now rooted to death) Hailstorm autentification service is not a new =
thing,
Kerberos could have done the same, and it has existed for years. I think =

Lai is right, Microsoft doesn't innovate, just puts a big marketing =

too much hype so it feels it's a new thing they're doing (like the 3d =

done before.
If you look at GUI evolution you'll see that their only REAL innovation =
(and I guess=20
I've not searched enough to find a precedent) was the taskbar (a minor =
tweak of Apple's
task drop down menu) everything else already existed. C# has some good =
things (namespace=20
being one of them), but big drawbacks (it doesn't exist a good non =
propietary implementation=20
yet as momo still has to grow).
