It's not about invention, it's about popularization. Both LSD and Unix
certainly received a boost in popularity via Berkeley. Where would either one
be without it?

Similarly, Microsoft didn't invent the idea of vulnerable computing, they
just made it ubiquitous. (They did however invent the new meaning of
the term "innovate" ;)

(Yeah, it's even later on a Friday evening...)
