darkstorm, i think microsoft has been good for its shareholders. it has innovated on the business model and done a darn good job of it. in terms of technological innovation, microsoft has done nothing of note. it has also been a 'fast follower', never a 'first mover'.
their business model innovation was to recognize a) that the os is valuable because of network effects, b) to ruthlessly leverage their os monopoly to push other products. very clever.
i may even buy some microsoft stock, but i am not doing it because i believe in microsoft, but because of their monopoly position.
