MS has spent _billions_ of dollars on legal costs, not to mention untold
millions buying influence (lobbyists, panel-stuffers, FUD producers).
Throwing money at a problem was a classic business approach in the day when it
worked in the non-tech world. MS is locked in to a robber-baron mentality. They
wouldn't know innovation if it hit 'em upside the head.
You can't _buy_ innovation, only the _results_ of innovation. You have to hire
the right people (imagine the leviathan MS HR dept is), provide them with a
nurturing environment (I can hear MS employees laughing now), reward their
efforts (attaboys work better than cash).
Folks with innovative capabilities find _much_ greener pastures _outside_ of
institutionalized bureaucracies, not only cash, but abstract rewards like
recognition and appreciation.
MS is no longer taken seriously as a tech company, except as a stepping stone
for H1Bs. They have zero chance of becoming innovative.
