What software has M$ created that is in any way revolutionary - I think 
that there must be something but I can't think of it.

Oddly I think the groupware aspect of Exchange/outlook is the best thing 
M$ have done - it's just a shame that all the other aspects of it are so 
awful.

don't forget M$ have been found guilty of breaking the law all over the 
world.
