What are MS's big market disruptors? I can't think of any save for DOS. It was stolen from IBM, but Gates made something special and a de facto standard. Everything else has been just copying. So from that perspective they had one big product 25 years ago and have leveraged their market position to place copy-cat applications. Nothing wrong with that from a biz perspective, just not very fun. Nowadays we're in the "creative economy" and in that space they just don't have many products. Google has out searched them and out advertised them. Apple is out-designing them. Where's their big creative products? >From what Jim said, maybe Office2007 will be.
