People often find unexpected uses for such.

For example, Al Bundy & show writers failed to anticipate in the mid 80's that PC's would be a great source of porn in a few more years*.

I'm not saying the killer app will be porn, but probably something as equally insipid. Maybe AI dating guesses/scores next to people based on social media posts? Who knows.

* I think they should have made the PC slowly display a teaser upper-portion of a playboy model (per modem download), and just before the raster line gets to the knockers, a message asking for credit card number pops up, and which stage Al and son's drooling smiles disappear.

What has MS done to innovate anything in the last five years.

The lower-hanging fruit would be to fix all the glitches that have piled up. MS is a digital infrastructure company, they don't need to invent Jetsons shit to have customers, and are probably too big to be innovative anyhow.

For companies that size it's usually cheaper to buy new ideas than do your own R&D. MS got big doing that even. Visual Basic, arguably their most innovative idea, was purchased.
