7 open source innovations on the cutting edge 

http://www.networkworld.com/slideshows/2010/052410-open-source-innovations.html

Open Source Doesn't Innovate

,----[ Quote ]
| I read a story this morning over at 
| Infoworld.com that shocked me a bit. Neil 
| McAllister discusses how proprietary 
| software companies, like Microsoft, 
| criticize open source projects by saying 
| that, "They don't innovate, they copy." Is 
| that really the consensus for an entire 
| software realm that brought us the world 
| wide web, TCP/IP, sendmail, DNS, DHCP, 
| Perl, PHP, Apache, HTML and basically 
| everything else that we use on the 
| Internet today? Is that really the stance 
| they want to take?
| 
| [...]
| 
| Here is a list of Microsoft products and 
| the originals:
| 
|     * Windows (The Name) - X Window
|     * Windows - OS2 and Mac
|     * Explorer Interface - Mac
|     * MS Office - Lotus and Framework
|     * SQL Server - Sybase
|     * Exchange Server - Domino
|     * Internet Explorer - Mosaic
|     * MS DOS - CP/M and IBM PC DOS
|     * C# - Java
|     * NetBIOS/LanManager - IBM's 
|     NetBIOS/LanManager
