Apple and Microsoft entered into a secret agreement. This agreement granted Microsoft a license to use the windows and icons in the development of version 1.0. In exchange, Microsoft agreed to develop software for the Macintosh platform. [Richmond Law Journal, 10 April 1995]

Good reading. Should put a light on alot of BS one sees flying around the net. Especially the intertwining between Unix, Microsoft and Apple.

The GUI, was first developed at xerox parc..............this is probably the only issue of contention between Mac/PC...............?

In the begining we all exepted that the work of the future is based on what was created before. It is only recently that it has become wrong to develope and improve what went before.

Who's killing inovation??????????????????
