Yes, Microsoft innovates. Their innovations just don't stick.

For instance, MS had a "PC tablet" (WinXP based) much before Apple, but it took iPad to make a revolution.

You said "just don't stick" and quoted a product that "completely sucked".

The PC tablet from MS was a laughable joke. The iPad made a revolution because it was revolutionary. It took Android years to catch up and Microsoft is still trying to fumble something together today.
