That picture is so funny. It's just so corny. Anyways if you look up the word innovate. (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=innovate Nobody actually innovates any more, because everything is based off of something else. I bet if you tried hard enough you can trace the computer back to the invention of the fire some how. And to offer a converse to your Bill Gates doesn't innovate because he "stole" from the Mac. Well the Mac "stole" from Xerox. And Linus "stole" the core of Linux from the ideas developed by AT&T at Bell Labs and their introduction of Unix. You are talking about the stealing of ideas, and Linux is just too close to how Unix works to not have the ideas "stolen". So in actuallity Microsoft has innovated with Windows just as much as the Linux Kernel team has innovated with the Kernel. Because they get all their work from Universities, same as Microsoft, and Apple, and FreeBSD, and etc. do.
