I like macintosh computers, however Steve Jobs seems to think innovation is just creative copying.
The recent iphone comes to mind. The original mac interface wasn't stolen as often implied. It was a good deal for Xerox and Apple, but Jobs still copied the work of another person, improved on, and called it innovation. I saw a youtube ad where he derided microsofts copying Apples use of Fonts, however I don't believe he came up with those either.
Apple has done a lot of great work, but I'm not sure I'd label all of it innovative.
