Yes, but Linux doesn't continually whine that it's such a great innovator, and that nobody else matches its innovativity (is that a word?)

Microsoft are continually whining that it's such a great innovator (more like copier, as the previous guys post mentioned).

Linux strives to get the job done that needs doing. Microsoft has to invent new appealing jobs that need doing or they lose profit. Microsoft updates the software and adds the new 'feature' (probably riddled with bugs), then you pay for a nice software upgrade.

Innovation isn't as hot as it's made out to be, Microsoft just make it a big deal because they get their cash flow by making people pay for every little change they can make.
