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.

MS has innovated, Microsoft invetented many things, but let me focus on one example that you use every day, whether you use a mac, windows, gnome or KDE, BeOS, or pretty much any GUI. When MS was developing windows 95 they invented a way to switch to different windows within a window in there settings dialog. They called it tabs. It went out for usability testing and 100% of people figured out what tabs were suppose to do! Now tabs are in every GUI around, so take that for non-innovation.
