It is ironic and sad that their most successful products are in fact
copycats. Some of their innovation was simply DoA. Remember the kettle that
tells you the weather? How about tablet PC's (e.g. Origami)? No better than
Zune song sharing (Wi-fi, expires after 3 playbacks, if only you could find
someone to share songs /with/)...

that we sometimes need to explain to people that Linux is not a Windows
clone... among all that other malarkey...

It reminds me of that famous CTRL+ALT+DEL video. Something along the lines
of: We are the one who made it (for debugging purposes), but it's Bill Gates
who made it famous.
