I'm an Apple fan. A diehard Apple fan. However, I think Microsoft deserves some credit for innovation. Namely, the Xbox Kinect. Apple brought us a game-changer taking touch gesture mainstream, but Microsoft's Kinect is the future of gesture.

Clearly, there are applications well beyond gaming. If this kind of innovation can still come from within the walls of Microsoft, I think a little more credit is due.
