Weird...
Apple pushes novel new ways of doing things and billions of users gush over how "innovative" they are as a company. Even when it is clear that those items could have been included in the last revision and were only left out for the sake of having something new to throw in. How many people who bought a 1st G iPad mini are going to be upset in 18 months when the Retina version is released?
But when Microsoft pushes a product that is innovative, the innovation is solely motivated by profit, not in enhancing the user experience.
But here is the thing - if an innovation is not also an enhancement - you can't convince people it is superior. So there is a drive to find *enhancing* innovation to drive profit because otherwise, clearly, you're falling behind other innovators.
You've put Microsoft in a can't-win situation here. They don't innovate, they die - they do innovate, they're doing it just to drive profits.
Maybe they are innovating, and maybe it does enhance productivity, once you learn how to leverage the new tools that have been provided.
What a concept.
