No way - there's absolutely nothing we copied from M$. What do you think of? KDE resembles the Windoze 9x UI a bit? Yes, but M$ stole that from MacOS and OS/2. I didn't write about KDE but about the joke Microsoff Linux 98 (yes i write correct Microsoff) www.microsoff.com/linux Microsoft didn't steal the interface to OS/2 - they wrote it.. OS/2 Pre version 2 was a joint project of Microsoft and IBM - Gates said once that it would replace windows... Mmmh the same thing that they have speak about Mac. I little collaboration was enought to copy or re-write (as you like) the same interface.

Re: [newbie] MS Linux 98 is out!!!!!!
Heh. Filesystem GUIs were around long before OS/2 or MacOS, though they were significantly less complex. Anyone remember GeOS for the Commodore 64/128 by Berkeley Softworks? Shockingly similar to early versions of MacOS. This was even before the days of mice (mouses?) and you had to maneuver around your "desktop" with a joystick. Eventually Commodore mice came along, and unless my memory is fading they were among the very first on the market. IBM users were relegated to 286 and eventually 386 machines and old IBM and MS-Dos, usually with the now forgotten "green screen" monochrome displays or, if you were _really_ lucky an EGA or CGA display. Hehe... man, those were the days. Off topic? Well, yeah... sorry. -- Meanie
