Microsoft isnt well known for their innovative products, they usually reiterate on the same concepts. Every time they try something different they fuck up big time, hence the old windows meme of every second release being bullshit like win ME or win8, and now win 11.

I think if they had tried a similar product without google to emulate it wouldn't have been such a world changing tool that is essentially the operating system of the internet for most users.

We wouldn't even really have the web ecosystem and capable browsers if Microsoft had their way. They pretty much created IE to try to stop web apps from happening.
