I must be in a parallel universe if windows 95 is considered innovative. I know it was very successful, but innovative? I don't think so. There is a reason that Mac users referred to windows 95 as Mac 87, it was lifted wholesale from apple, nothing changes. But I gotta say, the metro stuff does seem new and interesting, I have never used the metro UI, but at first glance I think the "I" word does apply here, this is very unusual for microsoft and I wish them well.
