They did, and I wasn't happy about it at the time, I actually thought Apple should have won at least something in their lawsuit against Microsoft. But Apple waited too late to launch their poorly organized lawsuit, and eventually turned into a train wreck once Woz and Jobs both left, although Jobs little black and white Mac did more to kill Apple than anything, if they had just made that thing color. Job's Next system was the best personal computer I had ever used, at the time, but it was marketed wrong and practically impossible for the average person to get one. A string of misteps by Apple and Jobs right at the time Microsoft put a GUI on the IBM clone market and the rest is history. I still wish Apple well, it's very disturbing to see them now relegated to third place on the desktop behind Finland's Linux, now morphing into a music company and rumor is they're soon to out of the pc hardware business completely, making software only.
