But to Microsoft's credit, think about it, what inventions are not actually improvements or continued development of a previous idea or product? Thomas Edison didn't "invent" the light buld, he just improved on existing German technology. It's not resonable to try to "invent the wheel". Instead, it's best to invent a better wheel or improve on the existing one. Bill Gates in an expert at this.
