From this interview with Microsoft's anti-Linux strategist, Martin Taylor:

We have this gem.
###
Q: So what kind of innovation are you doing in your area for Microsoft?
Taylor: There are things we're excited about, and there are things that
are just the basics. We spend close to $6.8 billion in research and
development; it really comes in a variety of areas.
One area is just some fit-and-finish, and taking basic simple processes
and doing it better. We have a feature called Configure Your Server
Wizard, which allows you to go in and choose a server role so you can take
a file server and (rebuild it as a) media server. That takes four to five
clicks of a GUI (graphic user interface)
###
Got that? $6.8 billion a year in R & D (supposedly) and they're
developing wizards?
Yaggota laugh ;-)
