[QUOTE="ChibiMofo, post: 10383814, member: 478322"] As a former MSFT employee from the early to mid 90s, I find this hilarious. Your history is WAY off. In fact Xerox execs in New York ordered their Palo Alto employees to show the Apple employees everything. And saying "their technology" is incredibly misleading as it implies that Xerox invented everything, which they clearly didn't. Apple in day 1 (1975) was making a single board computer that had nothing to do with Xerox. Then they made the Apple II series, which also had nothing to do with Xerox. It wasn't until the early 80s that they came up with their own graphical user interface similar to, but also superior to, what Xerox had showed them. So clearly Apple wasn't "scum from day 1." Xerox did sue Apple in the late 80s after Apple sued MSFT (MSFT had actually licensed some Apple technology/patents in order to make Windows, but Apple didn't like the fact that MSFT had the audacity to keep making Windows better, so they sued). But both lawsuits were unsuccessful. Xerox NEVER sued Microsoft, so they themselves tell you that you are 100% wrong about Microsoft "stole" their technology from Xerox. And if Xerox PARC had never existed, we still would have had graphical user interfaces in the 80s. That was inevitable and Xerox wasn't the only company working on them in the 70s. [/QUOTE]
