The first thing Microsoft needs to do is oust Steve Ballmer. This company has been completely adrift since Bill Gates left.
I'm not sure Gates doesn't deserve some of the blame too. I'm not sure Microsoft ever had the ability to innovate, but whatever ability it had disappeared long before Gates left the company.
People don't get windows for innovation, they get windows to be able to work.
The only innovation MS needs to worry about is integrating new tech into the OS so people don't have to install crappy 3rd part hacks to get things to work. (Bluetooth I'm looking at you)
