I guess that's how sjobs proves he's way over & beyond bgates (other than being still in charge, that is) : during the 90s, Microsoft's main line of defense against the accusations of monopoly was "but, we innovate!"... whereas now, in the 21st century, Apple goes one better... whith *new* innovations :-)
(sorta reminds me of those old washing powder ads, that made your clothes "whiter than white"...)

I love Microsoft's and Apple's definition of "innovate": take something developed by academia or the user community, shine it up and claim you "innovated" it. Oh, and be sure to sue a competitor if they do the exact same thing. And now we have initiatives that formalize this by employing a license designed to suck in open source and spit out profitable applications. Cripes. Sounds like US federal politics...
