<br>Examples:<br><br>Microsoft Office (Wordperfect, Aldus PageMaker, Lotus 1-2-3, Borland Quattro Pro), Windows (Macintosh), MS-DOS (PC-DOS), Xbox (Sony Playstation, Nintendo), Internet Explorer (Netscape Navigator), Windows Phone OS (Apple OS, Palm OS), Zune (iPod), and so on as the list is endless.<br>

<br>Now tell me a something Microsoft does and I will tell you who is the real innovator.<br>
