Umm... I'm going to disagree with you, because basically all that you listed are not innovations but duplications & extentions.

Xine & Mplayer are great players but do they do anything new and "innovative"? KDE & Gnome again different look and feel but not really innovative. Office again not innovative. Great examples of duplicating ideas, that often work better than the original (after a few vers) but innovative? No.
