Pretty much true.
The only things MS has created that I think are worthy of the label
"creative" are the MS Natural Keyboard and the MS Mice.
Actually Logitech used to make the mice for Microsoft, but I don't know if
that's true anymore.
That was one reason why Logitech mice worked as well with Windows as
Microsoft mice and other brands varied.
