Remember a month ago, when I urged the open source developers to take on this software and develop something equivelant and multi-platform? It seems that the only people who actually got interested in my $100 USD offer... was Apple.

Sorry, other than the Paper Clip, I just don't see. I can't find one thing Microsoft innovated.
Hmm ... for 2001, Microsoft received 396 US patents - ranking them at #44. Apple received 97 US patents - ranking them at #172.
Whether you like Microsoft or not, whether you agree with their business practices or not, you CAN'T call them a dumb or uncreative company.
I don't like everything they've done, but it doesn't mean that all they do is wait around and steal other people's ideas.
