I just watched that move, Pirates of Silicon Valley, and have gained a new hatred for Microsoft and Bill Gates. But, the Mac people, especialy Steve Jobs, aren't all that much better, moraly. Jobs' people basicaly stole thier GUI technology from Xerox, but only because the Xerox execs were morons. And Bill Gates' people basicaly stole DOS from some tiny computer company somewhere. If Bill hadn't been able to get ahold of DOS, Microsoft would have died before it even got started. If the Xerox execs weren't incredibly stupid enough to just give away all their software people had been working on, things would be VERY different today. Who knows, maybe Mac would be the major computer people use, with either a license for the GUI or an outright purchase of the whole thing. Who knows. But at least Micro$oft wouldn't be the major thorn in the side of computer progress that they are now.
GRRR, I HATE Micro$oft!!!!!
