Neowin posted a news story that in a recent statistic report published by Forbes, Microsoft was ranked the 86th company in regards to being the most innovative, below Amazon, Apple and Google.

As seen from the table, while Microsoft has a significant value price, the growth of the company is relatively minimal compared to competitors. Some have speculated that the slower growth is due to Microsoft's success and dependence on its traditional products such as Windows and Office, as well as the Xbox. It is worthy to note that while the report by Forbes takes into account business success, it does not consider the innovative ideas that corporations may produce but otherwise choose not to implement.
