The first versions of things like excel, word and even windows were actually apple programs and concepts that bill gates ran with more successfully on a larger platform due to microsoft's alliance with IBM. To say that apple didn't innovate is to ignore the entire history of the tech sector for the last 30 years.
Actually, the concepts of word processing and spreadsheets on a computer were out long before Apple came along. Everyone here seems to have this notion that invention is coming up with some brand new thing has never been thought of before. In fact, invention and innovation are really just small incremental changes to existing ideas. I can't think of any invention that was truly a brand new concept with no predecessor.
