Interesting piece of info....if you do not already know concerning Microsoft.
Windows is actually a MAC OS clone stolen by Bill Gates and Co. years ago during a meeting with Apple execs. This was shown in a movie years ago and kinda and intersting tidbit for those who have not followed Windows history (not implying you have not).

The movie actually showed how Jobs and Gates when on a pilgrimage to XEROX PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) and saw what was the first usable graphical interface for a microprocessor based computer. Both Jobs and Gates went forward to develop their respective GUIs. The difference is that Apple got sued by XEROX for infringing on their look and feel.
I guess we know who was doing the stealing now don't we.
