The law of diminishing returns applies and the world moves on. Now to see some really innovative technology, who knows where it might come from but I seriously doubt it will be MS. Just like Sony ruled the world with the walkman (now the ipod), Philips with the CD (now flash memory) - the list is endless and MS is no different.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
