What? Exactly. From Fast Company:
On Microsoft being a fast follower: “[Look at] RealOne: We shipped a media player before that company was founded, period.” Yep, and after QuickTime.
On whether it is better to be first: “Oh, it’s always better to be first. Actually, it’s very expensive.” True enough, but how bad is it when you’re nicking ideas from a company a tenth your size? Clearly money does not buy innovation.
And here’s one to hold on to: “…[someday] every student will be taking notes on a tablet.”
Man, what a world to live in.

Don’t you consider nicking ideas from a company a tenth your size, having IBM bankroll your startup, and making billions of dollars an innovation?

I wish I could innovate like that.
