Steve Jobs and Apple didn’t ’steal’ Xerox’s GUI OS from PARC, ‘dannyboy,’ if that IS your real name. They didn’t know what to do with it, and it wasn’t patented/copyrighted/trademarked. Yes they were foolish, but no Apple didn’t ’steal’ it. Actually if you think about it, it makes plenty of sense. If Apple had ’stolen’ it then it would have already been running on an Apple or Mac computer. That’s impossible because they weren’t created yet.
Give genius where genius is due: Steve Jobs is a very smart guy.
Required, it may very well be running an MS OS; macs can do that.
You can dual boot them, too.

i don’t think that Mac considers anything unfair.
until a couple months ago, i was a PC (per the latest ridiculous MS campaign). and a happy one at that. but after a couple hours spent on my friend’s macbook pro, i decided to take the leap and buy a $3K mac. and i LOVE it.
i can say that, like all mac owners, i feel privileged and enlightened. and as apple is gaining computer market share and DOMINATES mp3 player market share and has the dodge viper of phones . . . i don’t think that it has anything to worry about.

“Wrong. Xerox made the software, then Mac stole it, then Windows stole it. Then Mac decided it was unfair.”
Wrong Wrong Wrong again. The amount of wrong info people spout. Tsk! Read here from someone who worked for Xerox and subsequently Apple:

Please check your facts before shouting them as gospel. We all like a good legend but that’s usually what they are, stories made up and twisted over time. =)
