Actaully, Windows were a Xerox PARC concept that Apple freely ripped off (then complained when Microsoft did it right back).

Ah yes, now I remember.

Xerox were all "We don't give a ****" and the designers were all "Why the **** are we letting Jobs come in and steal all our hard work?" then Microsoft were all "Haha, ****-head. We dun stoled your ****, Stevie" and Jobs was all "You ****ing dick, Bill."

Isn't there a far east country where Windows is actually a registered trademark of another country?

They should sure MS if MS win this case. They have a much better case after all :)
