BTW, have you looked at Microsoft's open source OS called Singularity? It's 
pretty darn innovative. I guess if you never actually look at what research 
MS is publishing, you're unlikely to find anything they're doing new, no.

BTW, can you name me perhaps three things that Linux does that's 
distinctively new and innovative? Because I thought about it for a couple 
hours, and I can't think of anything significant I can do in Linux that I 
wasn't doing on Version 7 in 1983 or so, except internet stuff which is new 
with BSD 4.2 about oh 15+ years ago?  Linux doesn't even go as far as Apple 
did and rearrange the file system or fix the X-Windows subsystem.  Heck, 
even NeWS would be better than X.
