It was Edison who said ‘1% inspiration, 99% perspiration’. That may have been true a hundred years ago. These days it's ‘0.01% inspiration, 99.99% perspiration’, and the inspiration is the easy part. As a project manager, I have never had trouble finding people with crazy ideas. I have trouble finding people who can execute. IOW, ‘innovation" is way oversold. And it sure as hell shouldn't be applied to products like MS Word or Open office.
So no, I don't think people need ore innovation. I'd rather see more people sell their product on some plain old-fashioned ‘being good’.
And yes, I think open office certainly can compete. Software is a harsh area, in that the incumbent who has been in the area for many years not only has mind-share and PR and is seen as the ‘innovator’ (‘You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means’), but even more so, they simply have more years of experience under their belt.
