Microsoft Launches 'YouTube' Killer

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. will start testing on Tuesday an Internet video-sharing service called Soapbox, the software company's answer to Web sensation YouTube.
Does Microsoft know how to innovate? Does that company know how to make anything innovative, or is it just a Xerox machine of other's ideas?

Nawwwwww...
just something that will require IE and XP ...you know, just like MSN Video...
Just a Xerox machine of other's ideas
what else? Or when was the last (or possibly even: first) time you saw something come out of Redmond that made you go "aaah!" or "I wish I would have thought of that"?
Of course, it's a pretty stubborn myth that it's only/mainly the big innovators that will make the big bucks. Reality check: Most all people (conservatively: 99.9%) scrape a living by doing what droves of others are or have been doing for years if not centuries in some form or another.
By contrast, how many new ideas, concepts and inventions never make a dime for whoever comes up with them? Is it 80%? 90% perhaps?
Don't see why M$ should be any different once you shed off the promo twitchings and the overpaid media hype. It's either "copy other people's success" or "run (yet another) tailor shop for the emperor's new clothes" all the way, heh.
Oh brother

Fantom you are preaching to the choir dude :) I agree 100%
{old company} launches {new company} killer
I hope the title of this thread is meant to be ironic.
Anone remember "MSN search launches Google killer", what 2-3 times now in the past year or two?
That's some neat inversion
of "old" and "new" - and quite appropriate viewed from an overall perspective.
