Gates copied Apple's OS
You stated: "Billy copied Apple's OS, everyone knows that!"

Baloney. MS did copy the look and feel of the Mac's OS for Windows. A court of law said so. That same court also said that Apple copied theirs from Xerox and that the GUI was in the public domain.

When you say the OS was copied, you are charging that the code was copied. You know that's not true.

Finally, calling someone stupid because their opinion differs from yours exposes your own insecurity about your own opinions.
