I'm sure it wasn't the whole concept of a GUI that was being sued for, but that MS's rendition looked too much like Apple's. IIRC one of the consequences of that case was that Windows wasn't allowed to use proportional scroll bars - though at around that time the Amiga had proportional scroll bars, all the *nix windows managers have them but Apple haven't sued anyone else, yet.

When MS copy (and they do that all the time, or steal) they really do copy, like WP7's first iteration will have no copy+paste - just like the iphone :)

I couldn't agree more, the only reason the Patent Office is struggling is because people are trying to own property.

Building on existing knowledge is called Progress!

It is criminal that a child born today will be prohibited by law from using existing ideas and works until they are in the public domain after his death.

If sociality's laws are used to protect IP then, like physical property, one should pay property tax based on the value of the property.

Apple sued Microsoft over elements that they had themselves got from the Xerox Parc work. The lawsuit went nowhere, as everyone in the industry with a brain had predicted.

This is definitely not the first time Jobs steals the work of others and then comes back to sue them for "infringing Apple's rights"... 'Looking Glass', anyone?
