it may be that in the world of businesses there is always gonna be copying and stealing of other peoples intellectual property...but why would you do something if it wouldnt mean profits to you. microsoft takes macs idea and creates windows to make money. if it didnt make money they woulda dropped windows and stuck with dos. and the very fact that by stealing macintosh ideas microsoft make a profit is sorta indicative that what microsoft turned into windows, macs idea, is better then dos
also, wether or not microsoft does someday make something more powerful then the twin g4's is irrelevant cuz macintosh did it first...but lets play this game and pretend that it is relevant and that microsoft then makes a ton of money off it...then wouldnt 2 of microsoft's major products have been taken right from macintosh pretty much?
on an other note, microsoft always seems to be defending themselves in court: copyright infringements, monopolys, etc...never seem so see macintosh there
mike, who wonders why people prefer pcs, even though macs are more affordable, simpler to run/operate, and dont have that anoying tendency to crash

: Mikey. In the world of businesses, there will always be people copying each others ideas and stealing them.

: Also, Microsoft will creat something more powerful than the twin G4's pretty soon.
