The age old war. Which ended along time ago from my perspective but still rages on between the end users of the mac and microsoft camp. One saying I’m better, the other saying *smiegel like voice* you stoles it from us. It being the window based gui for the personal computer. The truth of the matter for those who do not know is Apple didn’t come up with the window based gui concept either. It was non other than red herring, I mean Xerox. Xerox developed the window based gui the mouse and everything. On presenting it to the board of the xerox company the product just wasn’t accepted. Naive Steve heard about it and got the chance to look at it. After seeing the gui he saw endless possibilities and included the xerox developed gui with modifications in the release of lisa apple2 pc.

Cut throat Bill Eventuallly caught wind of what apple was doing and made his way to Appless offices and by way of promising software development from Microsoft for the apple operating system he was given 3 of the unreleased lisa computers for toying with. What cut throat bill basically did to Steve is what Steve did to xerox just with a little less transparency. He analyzed the mac gui took what he wanted and integrated it in to his windows operating system. In the end Bill even lived up to his side of the bargain and delivered his software which he promised to develop for the mac operating system (microsoft office etc). So if anybody was to bitch and wine it should be xerox not Naive Steve.
