Thank you. THANK YOU!! If you hadn't told us, we'd still be lost,
wandering in the dark, bumping into each other...

As I recall, it was Apple that was accused of stealing PARC's design,
not Microsoft.
I think the point here is: who cares? Window-based interface was
invented by bureaucrats first. Icons - by Egyptians. Probably. :-)

BIG difference between 'invention' and 'theft' (remember what he paid
Xerox
for windows? That's 'theft' in my book. <G>).

Theft? By Gates or by Xerox?

Xerox got screwed.
Sort of like:
You run a cabinet business. Someone in your company designed a birdhouse.
You don't really care about the birdhouse, so you sell it to Bill for $2.00.
He slaps a coat of paint on the birdhouse, walks across the street and sells
it for $100,000.00!
Sure, it's all legal. But if you knew the guy across the street was looking
for a birdhouse, would you have sold it to Bill for $2.00?
(the guy across the street was 'Big Blue', more or less. <G>)

Bill didn't steal it from PARC. Apple "stole" it (at least that's what
the Xerox lawsuit claimed).
