I don't want to be seen as a Bill Gates fan, or a supporter of Microsoft (I use their products because I must), but they have been pretty innovative. In the 70s Micorsoft developed what was arguably the first piece of commercial software for a home computer- "Basic" for the MITS Altair 80. That must be regarded as innovative. It's just a shame that things have gone down-hill a bit from there.
