Good point. But those that say MS stole from Apple would have to agree that Apple stole from Xerox. But that’s only assuming if you think Apple stole from Microsoft.

I don’t think the situation is similar. My understanding is Apple paid to get a look at what they were doing and only saw the end result and not the code to build the GUI. On the other hand, MS saw the code Apple was using and did not pay. I have a limited understanding of what all went down, but that is my understanding.
