How are these margins calculated? Do they include the costs associated with developing Windows in the first place?

I though they stole it from Xerox, and Apple?

Not exactly. Apple stole the concept of the GUI from Xerox. And then Microsoft did too.

But complaining about stealing a concept like a GUI is like Ford saying GM 'stole' the concept of a vehicle with 4 wheels and a motor. It's too generic to really be theft.
