They haven’t been able to launch a extraordinary product since the mid nineties. All the rocking innovations have come from third parties. In some cases (like the web browser), they have been able to take over the market niche. But in most others they are missing the point.

Probably in a few years most people will use not only a web-based mail, but a web-based spreadsheet or a web-base word processor, like you’ve pointed out. And for this you won’t need Vista or other fancy stuff anymore.
