Forget Windows 7. Windows stole the look and feel of the Mac in the first place.

They spent years and millions on court fights and the courts said that it was OK for Bill Gates to copy Steve Jobs’ homework.

Why stop now?

Both Microsoft an Apple stole the look and feel from Sun Microsystems which publicly showed their future technology in the 70’s.

Yep. Windows 95 was really Mac 84 with the addition of color and the fact that it didn’t work as well as the original.

Apple stole everything from Xerox.

And Apple stole it from the Xerox Star at PARC, and poorly at that.
