ming said:hmm. Not sure about Apple, but not disputing it's rank. Just not sure about the 'outstanding design' part... I mean, it's all down to its marketing that got the ipods to become the top selling item in the music player market. Put it this way, who'd buy an mp3 player that doesn't have a screen?? Answer: People who has heard about Ipods so they buy the Shuffle.

nix said:Samsung Shouldn't they be in liquidation by now or something...
As for Apple I do somewhat agree, but Google being 8th just doesnt seem right in some way.
ming said:Becareful, you may have Samsung chips inside your machine.
They make all sorts of stuff, from crappy microwaves to plasma screens... not to mention the PC memory which are sold by well known companies.
ge and dell shouldn't be on there. they aren't innovative lol :lick:muzikool said:Hahaha... care to elaborate on that?

That really depends on your definition of innovation. It's a very broad term that means different things to different people. Innovation is not simply about making flashy things.the_music_man said:ge and dell shouldn't be on there. they aren't innovative lol :lick:
The results are based on a poll conducted on a pool of 940 senior executives, so I imagine many of them are well aware of Microsoft's contributions to the enterprise space as well. Have you ever seen the capabilities of their corporate and enterprise technologies and software...things like Active Directory, Exchange Server, OWA, Live Communications Server, Office Communicator, Sharepoint Portal etc?n0d3 said:I didn't know M$ was innovative these days. Is that due to the new spyware scanner? I don't think I've come across much from them that is useful. Yay for trying to make products better and stretching to new markets... but what they're doing there doesn't seem to beat Google... and Dell definitely isn't doing more in any direction than Google. There may be some bias in this news. What? Bias in news? You must be kidding us.
In essense, the very thing that differentiates Google's web apps from the rest was first written by the Exchange team. So much for Google being "more innovative" than Microsoft...The first component which allowed client-side script to issue HTTP requests (XMLHTTP) was written by the Outlook Web Access team, which is a part of Microsoft Exchange Server, and it soon became a part of the Internet Explorer 5.0 installation. Some observers consider the Outlook Web Access to be the first successful commercial AJAX application and others soon followed including Oddpost's web mail product. However, in early 2005 a number of seminal events have popularised the technique. First, Google used asynchronous communication as a basis for prominent interactive applications including Google Groups, Google Maps, Google Suggest and Gmail. Second, the name AJAX was coined in AJAX: A New Approach to Web Applications, which quickly came into popular use and helped raise consciousness of the technique.

Im sorry but I think you have to be pretty damn innovative to do that, I think that there makes google far more innovative than microsoft will ever be...The picture from the first page said:Strong connection with customers
Could you elaborate on that a little bit? What exactly does the phrase "strong connection with customers" mean to you?zeke_mo said:Im sorry but I think you have to be pretty damn innovative to do that, I think that there makes google far more innovative than microsoft will ever be...
Then again, you did say the word innovative is really user dependant
Exactly. There is no denying that Google is an extremely innovative company. I think they all are in different ways.zeke_mo said:Then again, you did say the word innovative is really user dependant
