A classic of inspired lunacy. Difficult to read it all at once, but well worth it.

What has microsoft ever done for us?
This post on the Oracle and Open Source blog points to a Sydney Morning Herald article bemoaning Microsoft's lack of innovation, despite the quality of their research staff and their huge R&D budget.
This reminded me of an conversation a couple of weeks ago when I was challenged to come up with something microsoft had actually invented. I failed.
Without getting into an anti-Microsoft rant, can anyone think of any?
The best I can come up with at the moment are wheel mouse and ODBC
