But, incorporating innovations isn't copying. Or will you take apple to task for copying alt-tab?

I think maybe HH was referring to Microsoft's GUI (graphical user interface) that was taken from Apple's OS and incorporated to upgrade Windows 2.0. (which really was taken from Xerox)
MS won this case. I disagree at the court's premise that a graphical interface was the only way to do it.
When somebody came up with a derivative of Windows through open source (e.g., Lindows OS back in 2001-2002), the MS legal team was dispatched post-haste.
HH, if I "ass"umed too much into your post, my apologies.

What about the spotlight like searching in Vista? Tiger had that first. What about the poorly executed expose rip-off? Expose has been around since 10.5.2. Why did the Zune and Zune store come out?!?Originally Posted by Tyrone Bigguns
What difference does it make? We're comparing companies...Originally Posted by Tyrone Bigguns
WHat difference? Umm, then your statements like..3% and making 25% of the profit aren't valid. You dont' compare automakers to software companies do you?Originally Posted by Partial
The point is Apple is making money hand over fist. They make it in several different fields. Microsoft is making their money in Zune and crappy Winmo phones as well don't forget .......

Of course that is your point NOW. Must be nice to constantly shift your argument.Originally Posted by Partial
MS is barely involved at this point in zune and phones.
You the discussion was about computers..now you switch to other products.
Should i crow about the Xbox and apple not being a player in the gaming field.
