Doubt?
Are you insinuating that Gates got it from Apple? WRONG.... they both got the idea from PARC. Being 'inspired' is just another word for ripping off someone else's idea. Doesn't matter if they used Xerox's code or not. The 'idea' was not their's to begin with. Bill Gates was working on Windows about the same time. Jobs just beat him to market.

Too bad Xerox didn't patent the idea. I'm sure they learned that lesson.
