| Interesting thing about the past of apple and windows i was reading the history of apple and steve jobs, basically how it all started. i was reading it at http://www.apple-history.com/history.html .. i came across something that is interesting... "At the same time, Sculley became locked in a battle with Microsoft's Bill Gates over the introduction of Windows 1.0, which had many similarities to the Mac GUI. Gates finally agreed to sign a statement to the effect that Microsoft would not use Mac technology in Windows 1.0--it said nothing of future versions of Windows, and Gates' lawyers made sure it was airtight. Apple had effectively lost exclusive rights to its interface design. This would prove to be an important document in future lawsuits between Apple and Microsoft, involving the Windows interface." with that being said..think about windows xp and mac os x.

| Hey, that agreement might explain why they didn't steal the trashcan idea until Win 95.
