M$ is at it again...do these people EVER have an original idea?

CNet article on Xbox vs. PS2:

Why?

Does anyone even quote MS employees? They always say something full of half-truths, the Xbox is not flexible, it just plays games, unless you get a mod chip, but wait MS doesn't like that. And yes, it also plays DVD/CDs, that's quite impressive. I can't think of anything else that does that.
Oh wait, it's called a Playstation 2. Or my Powerbook.
Digital hub, thanks for proving Apple's idea is a good one, MS is ready to steal it.

Can any pro-MS people tell me 5 things MS has invented or pushed into modern computing.

Depending on whats important to you... but I think that its not who invents that counts, its the one who tells the most people about it that counts... I also think that it sucks.
